Here's something I'd like to see in a future version:

When setting up a new game, allow the option to make all planets of equal value, perhaps user defined. This would force all habitable worlds not in the home system to have uniform PQ and perhaps a uniform distribution. A race getting a high quality planet has an unfair advantage giving the randomness of their availability.

I hate to learn after hours of play that I am going to lose or win, simply becuase the random generator put me or the AI in an untenable position. I also hate to discover my victory or loss is solely due to myself or the AI starting with a sector with 2 huge planets in our backyard.

In addition to the purely random method available now, let me select a flat PQ across the galaxy, IE all planets set to 14. It might also be nice to even out distribution, like a choice to say 'X" habitable planets per star or somesuch.

Also is there a way for us to create our own custom maps? Or to save a randomly generated map that I particularly like?
