FQM Poll: Quadrant Choices

Fyron · #1 July 7th, 2003, 06:48 PM

If you look at the default Quadrants, you will see that almost all of them are identical except for the first few lines. They have the same systems in them exactly (mid-life, cluster, spiral, edge, grid, etc.). This made my job easier.

I assure you I did not intend for the planets to form lines. That is an idiosyncracy of how SE4 generates maps.

I realize your questions are geared toward a particular goal (or curiosity).

But, a couple other questions might have been asked:

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

(2) What is your favorite galaxy type?

(3) Which galaxy type would you like to see improvements upon?

(of course, this assumes you are interested in adding to what you have already done)

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.

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.
