				 Re: Lousy galaxy generation/player placement 
 Yes, it can be somewhat mitigated by choosing 5 or 10 planets.  What if I just want everyone to start with 1 planet and have a roughly equal starting position.  The only option right now is to start a game with 5 or 10 planets, then go in and abandon all except 1.  This causes problems as you loose the research point bonus from the first turn. |
