A question,

How wide is the player starting cluster with the 30 planets. How many planets will be in 1year or 2 year jump.

How far are the clusters of each player. We know 300 lj to the center cluster, but are the other players closer ?

How dense is the centeral cluster with planets.

First of all, I'd like to correct a number. I originally stated that the HW-clusters will have 25 planets (not 30). However, I'm going to modifiy this slightly: Each cluster will have between 20 and 25 planets. This is mainly to make things a little easier for Victor, who will have to do a whole lot of moving planets around anyway. But once he has decided on a number, all HW-clusters will have the same number of planets.

The HW-clusters will have a diameter of 300 LYs +/- 15%. Distance of planets within the cluster to the HW will be determined by chance. You might have several near to the HW, you might have only a few. Just as in normal games.

The distance to your two neighbours is determined by geometry. In my testbeds, it was about 800 LYs to each neigbouring cluster.

The central cluster will have a diameter of about 1100 LYs. In a game with 6 players, it will contain about 200 - 240 planets. The densitiy is a matter of maths: 550^2*pi/number of planets. The average distance between planets should be 60 to 70 LYs. However, as this is an average, expect distances from very close to very far. In my testbeds I have seen anything from 15 LYs to 200+ LYs to the next planet.

Before the game starts, there will be another sample universe closely resembling the one we will actually play in.
