FQM Poll: Quadrant Choices

1. I think Ice gets the rough side, but it might just seem that way. I've seen the discussions, and the math, and I've never played Ice.

2. I like Huge Dense Clusters

3. I just like the Clusters, nice pinch points and things.

Cluster's rock! I love them. It's great to play a game with equal ammounts of races per clusters. And if you designate starting points it starts off pretty equal for all races. Or as equal as you can get with a generated map without spending ages on it!

Oh BTW, thank you Fyron for creating this mod, it's made my SEIV games much more interesting and less repetitive

The one I use for solo play is the
Dence Paradice I moded to make a Threaded Spiral.

That is a nice distribution of votes on question 1. 2 votes for the Last option would make it perfectly symmetrical.

Not that 2 votes for that one would be good, but it would look nice.

(1) Do you think the mix of planets and atmospheres gives equal opportunity to any planet type and atmosphere.

I can answer that right now. They do not. I forget exactly who has the advantage, but I think that Ice planets get a slightly smaller percentage of facility space than they do in unmodded SE4. The atmospheres are no longer quite balanced, but they are close. This is a result of disproportional numbers of new planet images from the Image Mod. I added nearly all of the images from there, and they seem biased towards certain types of planets.

I'd like to see a quad that came with few warp points. Something like 2 or three per system.

You can get that effect by using these settings on any quadrant:

code:

Max Warp Points per Sys   := 3

Min Angle Between WP      := 60

Adding a 3rd set of quadrants that are WP-lite would be IMO kind of excessive...

I know that, but I was looking for an easy one step method
