How big is a large galaxy actualy |
I generated a lot of large galaxy maps and I decided to count the stars in one, they all look alike. Only 64 star systems! The game box and the FAQ about the game on the Balance MOD web page says it can go up to 255 systems. So what's going on? Is this another bug or just a flat out lie? I do enjoy the game but let's keep the advertising to the truth.

should be variable with a maximum of 100 generaly. It can go beyond 255 but its not stable at that and you will need more system names as there are only somthing like 120 in the file at the moment.

Not stable?
I remember a while back when someone went over 255. The warp points stopped making any sense. I don't recall that person testing any further than that, however. I doubt the rest of the game handles it much better, but maybe, just maybe...

That was the post I was thinking about when I wrote that it was not stable beyond 255 systems. I should have said that odd stuff happens with the warp points.

Never mind. Lets all take a moment to laugh at darthcow2007. I found the settings txt file and discovered, for myself, why the systems were too low. I'll change things around and see what happens.
