Team placement

What kind of patterns does team placement follow on Sins maps? Is it sequential or alternating?

Let's say you have a 2v2 map, with players 1, 2, 3 and 4. Which players will be placed next to each other -

1 and 3; 2 and 4? or

1 and 2; 3 and 4?

They should let you choose where you spawn to be honset like most RTS games do, it's just annoying to be left alone in another star system with 4 enemies ready to rape you.

You can disable this in the 1.1 galaxy forge. But I haven't figured out how to be anything except player 0 in single player. :(

Yeah, in Galaxy Forge there is a way to make it always spawn you on a certain planet, or so I've heard. I cant figure out how though, anyone know?

In galaxy forge 1.1, from the defualt menu (where you can add description and stuff), there is a heading that is something like random position, which by default is true. Turn it to false, and the players will always get assigned to the same planet. (The first player becomes player 0 in the forge, second player becomes player 1 etc.) Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get out of the first slot in single player, meaning you always get player 0. Probably can do something in the forge player menu but I haven't had the energy to figure it out yet. :zzz:

I wish we had a choice to choose where we are placed like other RTS games...

Let me point out that if the game had custom map auto-download, this wouldn't be an issue since there would be many custom maps to choose from where everyone either gets a similar or good starting position and/or people start near their teammates, etc.
