Ramdom Map Trouble

from Sins Forums
Now I created a Huge Map to play on with 10 Star Systems 2 of them Had 5 Players in each the rest were empty I used to preview feature to make sure that there were 10 Start Systems and everything else looked ok, but when I started the game there were only 5 Stars not 10 any idea if this is a bug or am I missing something?

If you use the build in map generator, you can actually set the number of players per star. So, you can add 1 star with 10 planets and set it to 2 people, add a second star with another 10 and 2 more people, etc. ;)

The "Random Huge" from the map selection doesn't spread players out, it fills 2 stars (5 players each), and the other 3 are for expanding, I guess :P

No I made my own map using the Map Generator not one of the prefabbed maps.

Well, the Galaxy Forge doesn't quite allow you to specify starting positions just yet (I believe the next version should). So it would work like using Random Huge, just fills up as many stars as it can, doesn't spread them out.

If your using the map generator, make sure each star is set to only allow 2 people in it, and that will restrict them appropriately.

Ops looks like I selected the wrong map mine Was Called Huge Map and there was already one Called Huge Random Map so I got them confused. Sorry about causing a fuss.
