How would I actually go about setting up a game like this? I went and got StarsEd so I can make my megatonnage of minerals. I know there is also a way to make your own .xy file, but how is that done? I'd want to move planets for the overseer clusters of 4 or 5 planets into little rings to make sure they are evenly spaced giving them good galactical coverage and making sure the overseer race can inhabit them.

You can use the Universe Creator to move planets, however limited to moving them North-South only.
There is a link in the download section of AH:

Is there any way to colonize the overseers ring planets during the game setup outside of autohost without having to actually fly all the way over there and set up shop? That would take a while and require more work on my part in regards to playing everybody elses races (scouting namely). No pain, no gain.

You'll have to get your pop there yourself. You don't have to play everyone else their race. Make sure you have all paswords, note down starting pop and minerals. Set all races to alchemy and build transports to pick up the extra pop and minerals when you are done with your setup. This will bring the situation back to a normal 2400 starting year.

As for the Overseers to get the tech for massdrivers you could build eny scrappers to get you to eny22, using the zero tech/cost method. You build yourself a lot of scrappers, transfer the ships to another race and start scrapping. You'll have to get the last levels yourself though ... Might be hard since that higher research will cost a lot ... Sad
You might want to start with lesser drivers and research the last ones while the game is already running. Just check how much resources it will cost you to get there. You won't have much planets.
You can give the Overseer HP factories and HG pop for maximum resources, eny cheap, rest expensive and no mines, ... habs ... a bit more difficult since you'll want more or less good planets I assume ... centred OWW, or all wide if you bring factory cost to 25 ... 3i with low growth ...

Or just gen a lot of years Grin you'll get there eventually ...

On another note, is anybody reading this actually interested in playing in a game like this? I'm serious about running one if I can get players and figure out how to do everything.

You can make a poll. Wink

I like the concept if you can balance it enough. Though I've just got another game starting and probably another one as well, so no time ...
