Hi;
My idea of space is a big expanse of nothing with little dots of something; I find with the new updates there is just way too much. I often start a game with 2 or 3 planets within initial sensor range as habitable, before I even move.
I had had the files edited so that basically the number of stars was 1/2 of the original settings, and about 1 in 3 planets where habitable.
After the updates it seems the mapsizedef file does not have the new super large map, ludicrous size I think, in the file so I cannot edit it to give me less. I tried editing the mapsettingsdef file so that rare was really rare but even when I have things set to 0.001 (the smallest value the game will accept) I still get massive numbers of stars and planets.
What I would like to see is initial habitable planets as really rare, 1 in 10 maybe, with extreme planets at about 1 in 3. Special Planets about 1 in 100 . I would like to space the stars out more too; the gap between galactic arms, near the edge, should be too far for a ship to cross without special engineering a long range slow explorer to get there.
Anyway I am not expecting anyone to make anything new for me but is there a mod or some suggestions on what I can edit to make my games a little more sparse?
Thanks
