I would gen the medium dense uni and stretch to large size ...

Is this what you did to create the universe with DD5? It seemed like a medium universe to me that we played in. Why the stretch? Does it make moving worlds eaiser? I really didn't want to play in a large universe, but maybe I don't completely understand what you are doing here.

I really liked the universe you created for DD5, it was ideal for this game setup. There was no advantage on where you started.

I agree, placing the races in a pattern like in the image from DD5 seems a good way to distribute the races - With six spokes rather than five spokes, as there are six teams, of course. But teammate HWs should be closer to each other than to enemy HWs, preferably considerably closer.

And the universe should not be stretched, the races the players have set up for this game have surely been designed for the distance and stellar density announced in the game post, not the distances and stellar density seen in a medium universe stretched to large size.
