If your were playing a RP SE4 game ....
How would you want the map to be set up
1. Random
2. Random but edited with equally spaced starting positions
3. Predesigned map with equal portions of the universe to colonize only by your empire

1. So that your roll playing can be unique.
I'm in one RP game with 20 players in a large galaxy, and it seems that most players have started in the south or middle.
It has made establishing bounderies interesting...

Number 1. Makes for an interesting, cut-throat, game.

Re: If your were playing a RP SE4 game ....
If it was a strictly roleplaying game (the object is to enjoy the process of the game, not winning it), then I would say completely random map. And turn off "All Player's Starting Planets Same Size". And the distribute players evenly option turned off, and players can start in same system turned on (even though I'm pretty sure neither work anyway.
Life isn't fair, a game attempting to imitate life shouldn't be either.

The latter works for sure. I've seen 2 Neutrals start off in the same system, duking it out between themselves.
Suffice to say, it gave me considerable leverage.

Re: If your were playing a RP SE4 game ....
I thought it didn't work because on rare occasions, with "Can start in same system" turned OFF, two players end up starting in the same system. Or else I'm just imagining that
