spawn points on random maps

is there an order to how the players spawn on a randomly constructed map? a lot of the time i want certain allies or enemies in the same system, but i can't seem to predict where they start

Completely and totally random.

which is occasionally completely annoying.

random map variants, which guarentee 1212121212, or 1111122222, and/or symetric as far as planet types, player starting positions, resource rocks, and militia would end bogus matchs in which one team is totally gimped in starting position.  At least with a symetric map, If a player on one team has a horrible starting position, its a given that another player on the enemy team also has the exact same starting position.

It is kinda getting boring how people only play single star random
