Obviously that is not true since I just made one with 40 stars through the Map Designer. But there is no logical reason for my map to crash when I add just one extra star to it. Especially when it is a copy of the star above it. And yes I did increase the star count.
Every time I go beyond 19 stars my game displays a very large number of players for Max Players and won't start. Has anyone else gone beyond 19 stars? I am direct editing my maps not using the galaxy creator (well I start with the Galaxy creator and then tweak them on Notepad after that.) Also is there any way to get a different configuration for the stars other than a ring formation. I really do not like every star in a ring it just isn't right.

AS for Capital ships there is a similar parameter, except you have more control since they can increase with each level.

If you are talking about increasing the number of fighters/Bombers a ship can carry then yes, I have been able to do that. I am still searching for a way to add a new fighter/bomber type. Here is the line for adding more fighters: maxNumCommandPoints 1 Just increase that number and when the ship is created it will give you the opportunity to choose X squads. Look in the FrigateTechCarrier.entity file. Paul9000
Create a map using the map tool then go to the directory C:\Documents and Settings\[Logon name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy and look for the map you just created. In the file you will see: extraPlanetGroupCount 2 [B] extraPlanetGroup minCount 1 maxCount 1 planetTypeCount 1 planetType "Asteroid" extraPlanetGroup minCount 1 maxCount 1 planetTypeCount 1 planetType "RandomIceVolc
