Hi,
First: You devs created the best game ever.
Second:

I like to roleplay my games on impossible or 150% enemy stats. That way you still have some challange in the late game, but you will only take off if you get a nice startpos - danger 4 system with fewest possible planets is just so much better than anything else. Compact galaxies are just so much more fun than heaving a story relevant system at the end of a 5 star system dead end with 2 three week journies. Thatˋs just a death by boredom waiting to happen.
And I want to play steel song, so thats another combination that has to align. And I dont want cadar as my rival, and in my experience cadar almost always gets chosen when you start next to them.

Unfortunately that means I need about 3 hours of rerolling before getting a map I want to play. The discrepancy between a run starting from the small danger 4 system to any other run is just to hard to play anything else for me.

I also dont get systems being able to be start pos where you might not have enough fuel to even reach the arbiter in one go.

I would so very much like to have more options generating the galaxy or at least being able to do it in steps - keep the layout, change the systems or something like this.

This way generating a galaxy is just a slot machine, and unfortunatly I keep hoping for the big one for days and hours on end

We have rolled thousands of galaxies over the years.
Maybe try one of the older maps, many seeds for both V1 and V2 maps styles can be found in the forums.

What prevents you from adjusting to other starts?

Just my personal prefernence and the Story I'm spinning in my head while playing

I‘ve again been rolling for a small danger 4 system for ss without cadar or devaltos as rival.

Ich checked, i need less than 5s in most cases to generate a map, check for danger, too sparsly placed systems and matching neighbours. If everything works fine i start and check faen for my rival.

I‘ve been rolling for 5 hours straight. No match. Thats over 1000 maps this evening alone:(

I know my tastes are refined, but I get these kind of games from time to time… I just wish there were more options in the generation screen to auto dismiss certain criteria….

Thanks, fate.
