yep, it sucks. I have a game going that took about 5 restarts to get started because of race file resubmissions and whatnot. each time the game restarted I was holding my breath. first time, i was pretty happy. second time, i knew i was screwed and would be completely unable to compete. third time, i knew i would be untouchable. it kind of went back and fourth like that.

the 'all players evenly distributed' option does not seem to do doink. with it checked, some players were directly adjacent, others were completely isolated. this certainly does need work, and I dont even think it cares at all about what planets are near to you.

at least they fixed the thing with players starting in black hole systems, man that sucked (your ships right out of orbit).
