The RNG is rubbish - I've had at least half a dozen gens with all the HW in half of the universe...

I've noticed this as well. When testing the .def, I just opened each player file quickly in Stars (alt-f->8 over and over once I had all 8 files in the recent list).

Perhaps other people have studied the details of universe gen in stars, but my guess is that stars picks a purely random start position for player #1, and then makes random picks for the remaining players influenced by the player distance setting and the position of player 1.

The spacing usually looks reasonable, but yeah, it doesn't do a good job of centering everyone.

If this is proving too cumbersome, maybe we should consider moving the starting planets to form a rough octagon around the center.

Anyone have any other ideas?

What we need's a few good taters.
