does the "place empires evenly throughout galaxy" work?
You can set this in the setup options before a game but I don't think it's working. I set up a TDM game in a huge galactic edge galaxy. There are three AIs plus myself. I was placed very near the lower left corner. It's now become apparent that one of the AIs, the Tessellate, was also placed there--in other words, nothing at all like spacing four players evenly throughout the galaxy. We're pretty much on top of each other.
Anyone have thoughts on this? Does that setup option not really do anything? (I've noticed it before but this was the first time I made a point of noting where the other AIs were.)

The rest of the galaxy wasn't filled with uninhabitable systems (nebulas, black holes, etc.) was it?

Does it work? No, absolutly not. Setting the option or not setting it makes no dif. Placement is practically random.

Like Geo said, it doesn't work.
By the way, are you playing with "bonus"?
Would be great to me, know how the Tessellate performed starting close to you. |

See? Geo is nice. Full of explanations. But I can answer your question easily:
NO

Most quadrants aren´t even to begin with.
