Re: Too many planets
Have just replied to your other post and then found this one. To answer your question, it is quite easy to reduce the number of planets per system. Just edit your SystemType.txt file that is in the data directory. You can either just modify the Standard 1, Standard 2 and Standard 3 entries (easy) or make up new system types (a bit more involved).
I had some fun modifying Emperor Zodds Quadrant and System type files that he has uploaded into the Mods Archive.
Suggest you check it out.
I too get a bit cheesed off with the micromanagement, and sparse systems seem to help the computer players a bit (less planets for them to slowly colonise). Also, given the issue of gravity suitability not really being accounted for, less coloniseable planets makes more sense to me.
Does mean though that high tech levels take much longer to achieve...
Anyway, hope this has helped.....
