Default One thing that would make the game so much better

Unless I'm missing a setting, there is one thing that gives a huge unfair advantage that I wish could be fixed for the gold Version.

Right now, on maps where you can't see the map, the user see's their sector in the map grid in the position of the sector. So, for example, if your home sector is in the bottom left corner, it displays that on the map from the first turn.

This gives players in corners HUGE unfair advantages.

1) They know they can't be attacked from the boarders of the map.

2) They can tell all of their friends their exact location to help with trade/defense.

3) They can defend their area early on without much exploration.

I think a much better system would be that the Users starting sector is centered in the map so that no boundaries are known until they are found. This gives the race advantage of knowing the map from start a much better advantage (as it should) and it makes everyone equal to start.

Just my .02
