NON-Random Start Positions |
I have a nice map generated (out of luck) and 5 start positions assigned. Is there any, ANY way to control who starts where in which of those start positions? Any at all? I mean, all they would have to do is NUMBER the start positions, so you could assign P1, P2, etc. But they are all just random points. Is there ANY way around this?
Re: NON-Random Start Positions
Unfortunately not, I would like this feature added too.
Re: NON-Random Start Positions
Yes this would be cool.
Groovy Baby Yeah!
Re: NON-Random Start Positions
Since you can mark systems as start points, and you can save the map, and game setup. Have you tried saving, starting, and reloading and restarting if you don't like it?
Remember that different races need different atmospheres, and all need the same size/quality planet. There is no guarantee that the system YOU want to start in has a planet of the correct size, atmosphere, quality.
I have noticed that there seems to be areas in the map that tend toward certain atmospheres. Hydrogen planets abound over in this area, while Oxygen are over in that area.

Im pretty certain that rather than trying to find a planet of the right type, after generating sector it will add the homeworlds for the players. By selecting every system as a possible placement point before you start the game and it turns out that asteroid systems, i.e. one sun and nothing asteroids, can be made a starting place for a player, with one single planet among all the fields.
Re: NON-Random Start Positions
well it would be nice as i got the cool map creator, be nice to set up perfect start positions for everyone or have a 2 v 1 style with larger bonus system for the guy on his own, things like that

No.
