Default Re: FQM Poll: Quadrant Organization

OK, I am one of the "I'll explain" people (not that I'm a good choice for that but)...

When I consider a map to play on, the first decision I make is what kind of map I want (for example, "cluster" type differs a lot from "spiral" type in the regular game. Then I decide how big I want it (depending on players or some other factor). Then, I would move to how rich to make each system in planets. Final would be warp point density.

So, to try and explain it, I would prefer something like this:

Spiral
*Small
--Planets Sparse--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Standard--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Dense--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
*Medium
--Planets Sparse--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Standard--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Dense--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
*Large
--Planets Sparse--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Standard--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy
--Planets Dense--
---Warp Light
---Warp Standard
---Warp Heavy

Cluster
(etc.)
