I dont understand Fyron?

The AIC Centurian Map is very unique and can be generated to the individual Players taste and it is always perfect.

I don’t know how he programmed it, but its been in AIC forever.

The sheer randomness of how many clusters appear is due to the max wp (4) and min angle between wp (240) settings. This apparently confuses the SE4 map generating code, so sometimes it does not know how to make the rest of the clusters. With a normal cluster, you never get fewer than 11 clusters on a large map (100 max systems), and rarely under 10 clusters on a small map.

Well I guess JLS figured how to do it. I have used that map since AIC came out Last February, and it is great in a LAN games when only a few people paly and the map sets up Cluster perimeters.

It plays great in Standard, no-warp, and Finite games

excuse spelling, its been a late night out, and but fun

What does this have to do with FQM?

I never said it was bad, just commenting on how bizarrely that cluster map behaves.

Had a fun night Last night, ah GLV

The Centurion Map is just a map. It can be regenerated for different Cluster amounts and sizes that may suit some players. Not all that unique or bizarre.

Point me to another mod that causes random amounts of clusters to be generated in a cluster map...
