[Q]

What is the difference between standard, sparse and dense quadrants in your newest Mod?

[Fyron]

The HTML Help document outlines that.

Basically, the systems in Sparse tend to have fewer planets (the distribution curve has 3-4 planets as the most common), and Dense systems have more planets (10-11 most common). The Standard systems have 7-8 planets as most common. Note that moons are not considered to be planets for this curve.

Imperor, there is still a _huge_ problem with homeworlds: Several system types have a medium sized moons around huge gas giants. When SE seeds players (1, 3 ... planet start - does not matter)
it sometimes picks up these medium size planets as a normal homeworld. What happens next is ugly: SE "transfers" homeworld to number 1 planet - gas giant. As a result, you can often see rock oxygen player start on huge hydrogen gas giant. You can get lucky and get native atmosphere on gas giant ! Still, it basically makes game unplayable. I suggest to change medium sized moons to either small or even large size !
Alternatevely, change the order of planets and make gas giant to "orbit" potential home worlds.

[Fyron]

Yeah, I know. This is more of a bug with SE4. I guess I could do that. Have you noticed that it transfers the homeworld when playing with Small or Large homeworlds, or does it only do that with Medium ones?

[oleg]

I did not try it with other sizes, only medium. But I think it will do the same. I was trying to edit your systemtypes.txt and convert medium to small, but got lost in about 1/3 of the file. It is one HUGE list of systems !
