Select Empire

The most important choice is to select an empire but also the other options are important. After the choice press OK to start the game.

Galaxy Size

GalaxySize (0=Tiny,1=Small,2=Medium,3=Large,4=Huge)

Available (Width - Height), defined in UniverseTables.txt

Beware of: With a small galaxy the game might not start because it has MinDistance between stars and homeworlds. With 24x16 the game should run always.

Tiny 24 - 24 (sum = 576 sectors)
Small 36 - 36 (sum = 1296 sectors)
Medium 48 - 48 (sum = 2304 sectors)
Large 60 - 60 (sum = 3600 sectors)
Huge 80 - 80 (sum = 6400 sectors)

Galaxy is sub-divided into four Quadrants

Galaxy Shape

GalaxyShape (0=Spiral,1=Ring,2=Elliptical,3=Cluster,4=Irregular)

Galaxy Canon

GalaxyCanon (0=Canon, 1=Random)

Canon (Federation in Alpha Quadrant and so on...)
Random = Civs are scattered all over the map without being Canon to ST-Universe

Star Density

StarDensity (1=Sparse = 1,2=Medium,3=Dense)

Sum of sectors (see above) is divided by

Sparse: /12 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 12 = 300)
Medium: /10 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 10 = 360)
Dense: /8 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 8 = 450)

(Source: BotF2.Universe.GalaxyGenerator.cs)

Planet Density

PlanetDensity (3=Sparse,5=Medium,7=Dense)

Starting Tech Level

Starting Tech Level (0=Early,1=Developed,2=Sophisticated,3=Advanced,4=Supreme)

Starting Tech Levels, defined in GameOptionTables.txt, others in HomeSystems.xml

Minor Races

Available (FrequencyRatio | MaxCount), defined in UniverseTables.txt

Many: 25 | 120
Some: 16 | 100
Few: 12 | 80
None: Infinity | 0

Home Quadrants

new in code since release 2014-11-25 (might be different in BotF2)

Canon: like display in Quadrant
Random: Majors are randomly mixed up, minors not yet

GamePace

GamePace (0=Slow,1=Normal,2=Fast)

TurnTimer

TurnTimer (0=Unlimited,1=Sec25,2=Sec50,3=Sec75,4=Sec100,5=Sec150,6=Sec200,7=Sec250,8=Sec300,9=Sec360)

AIMode

not sure whether implentented + not changeable directly

0 = Normal
1 = Agreeable
2 = Aggressive

Place of storage

this settings are done by "IsolatedStorageFileStream" - means it is save to /User/xx/AppData/Local/IsolatedStorage in some subfolder in a binary file format. The file name is Settings.dat. Manual editing is not possible so just use the game UI.
