This would actually be fun but I’d remove all the random dot systems and make the gap between home systems and designed clusters like 7 days apart. Every fam gets same amount of planets close by then has 1 week to travel to outer systems and start a cluster.

Think by this point I’m just spamming random map ideas lol.
If anyone wants to build some maps / redesign some of the maps above / steal the ideas then feel free.
I do like cores such as this:
I think having some planets directly next to your home world just gives a quicker and more even start for everyone / gives you a little base of power to work from.
Not sure if any of my maps are any good but I have tried at least.
