Our solarsystem

The planets are already in XFileClasses_Stellar.txt.

But I also don't know how to start with them.

Not at the moment I am afraid as whilst it is possible to make a mod which will make a map which contains a replica of our solar system it is not at the moment possible to ensure that you or any other empire starts there.

There is a Map editor on its way which would if the SEIV is any guide allow you to generate map and determine your start point precisely. However don’t hold you breathe as it’s likely to have to wait until the last of the bugs and issues are dealt with

Actually, it is possible to pick the system you start in. I only know how with a random map, but you have a player placement option during game creation. I picked a spot for myself that was out of the way with some choke points so I could slice off some of the quadrant with fewer warp points to guard.

If you can do it like that, then it should be written in somewhere. Just have to find it.

almost but not quite you can determine where the empire start points are but not which empire goes where during map creation you need to generate a map and pick placement points. Helps with distribution issues and you can’t place a start in a system without planets which is good and logical. If there are more you can do I’ve not found it yet

Well, I had set one starting point only and it applied to me when starting up. If you set several, it becomes random, but if you only choose one it seems to apply to the human player only.

dident know that and it explains why I have not found the trick myself since I set multiple start points to spread out full empires
