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)

Planet Density

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