Help with Map Designer

from Sins Forums

Trying to build a huge map, but cannot seem to get the phase lanes right.  I set phase lanes at short, but they're always torturously long.  I set for high probability of phase lanes, most planets end up with 2.  My star system ends up with several long "arms" of planets stretching from it, most often these arms are unconnected, so I would have to go through about 10 planets to reach the star, then enter someone elses "quadrant".  I have 5 different planet groups, each with 4 different types of "planets".  I've tried to keep all my distances short.  Anyone have any tips, no matter what I edit, can't seem to change to look of the map.

in my experience with the map designer, each of the planet rings AND stars have their own phase lane probability and length, but the only suggestion that I can give is to preview the map , and if not the way you want it then exit the preview and adjust the values and try again.
