I do know that you don't have to place a starting point on a planet; Set Up will put one in the sector if there isn't one there already.

This happens to me sometimes when I use the map editor. I guess my starting planet wasn't bad enough for a bad start. They don't have an extra planet one of mine got lost somehow.

My plan was for a one planet start. There are a total of 10 empty rock oxygen planets for each of them to colonize, I wanted to see the new colony's mood.

You won't believe the problems I had ... the map generator consistently connected my systems. I had to make sure I shut off all warp points connected, generated a random map, viewed it, then reloaded my map. And one time those steps didn't work. Sheesh. I had to reload my map in the editor each time and edit out the warp points

You won't believe the mess it made of the XiChung half -- they have a system with more than 20 planets ... some say Velocitas and some say Hiju. I think I deleted one of those systems but the planets stayed behind. Why did I delete that system, you ask? Because it was a nebula with planets .
