Is it possible to make the neutral planets harder?

from Sins Forums

I'm curious if there is anyway to make them a bit tougher to take.  Right now, they are pretty much a cakewalk for me, and would like a bit more challenge in expanding.  I have the bar moved all the way to max on a map i made in game, but it is too light.  Is it possible to upgrade it anymore, more like the pirates bases?

Yes. GalaxyScenarioDef file is the place to look.

Will this span over into multiplayer if I'm hosting the map?

They would have to have your changes  but yes.

If you want to challenge yourself, you could try taking planets faster instead of just increasing the number of neutral frigates. For instance, try getting 5 planets by 8 minutes. If you give yourself a speed requirement, it's definitely a difficulty increase. 5 by 8 sometimes isn't possible, but 5 by 9 or 10 normally is.

Not saying that this is something you should do, but it's an interesting and challenging exercise... and is very useful practice for competitive, reasonably spacious maps.
