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
