would there be a particular arrangement of the players in the setup or is it going to be more random?

Definetly more on the random side.
I'll check the universe and player starting locations to avoid some very weird setups like half the universe free and all players crowded in the other half. But apart from that, you will have to cope with what the Stars universe generation throws at you.

To adapt and cope with weird starting situations is an essential part of a tact & strat game. If your race design is in need of at least 70% germanium concentration on the HW, well, then you gambled and might loose (and you shouldn't gamble in a strat & tact game). For the beginners: it can't get too worse, HW mineral concentration never falls below 30%. If you see that another player's HW is very close to yours... early war or early alliance (both can have its merits). If you discover yourself in a remote corner with no neighbours nearby, well, easy and secure early development but you might be the last to find an ally and start techtrading much later than most. So almost all things have pros and cons and it depends on you how to handle it.

We'll also play with "random events on" that means comet strikes, wormholes, mystery traders and a chance to find some small tech boosts on planets colonized for the first time.
