I'd like to play in a universe where the planets are more spread out. I'm wondering what the right settings would be.

(I'll say right off the bat that I would just ban IT in this format. IT is already very strong in a normal setup, and is much less hampered by spread out stars than are the other PRTs.)

Eight players in a medium/sparse provides 27 planets per player over an average area per player roughly equal to 425ly x 425ly.
The average area per planet is roughly equivalent to a circle with a radius of 46ly.
Any given point at least 81ly from an edge is within 81ly of approx 3.1 planets, on average.
(I welcome anyone to please check my math on all of the above.)

I want more spread out than that. Perhaps use the universe stretcher util to double the dimensions of the universe?

Has anyone played in a super-sparse game? Anyone have thoughts on the settings to use?



What we need's a few good taters.
