sorry, didn’t have a ruler when i was clicking, its space, the gap was just for a illusion of safety, use it to yawls advantage. 150 systems per side, no map wrap, an no finding other families with the map. Happy Checking =)
I don’t think you really need a ruler to see that the top left and bottom right corners are where the divide should be… and that the bottom fam has 14 systems on the top fams side …the bottom family is able to get much closer to the top fams HS. Just seems silly to not spend a few minutes making the map even for a round that lasts four weeks.
It’s a fair critique, but the “spend a few minutes” bit is kinda rude, given that making custom maps takes a non-trivial amount of time and is something that we don’t actually guarantee as a standard option.
Critique is fine, but let’s critique the map and not the person volunteering to make it. There’s no need to comment on how much time a volunteer is or isn’t spending on something that we are not entitled to.
Let’s do this: there’s a Custom Map Maker (kudos to @Daffy) that exports a file that we can use in the galaxy config. @Lord_Pickle, if you (or anybody else) wants to spend a few minutes cooking something up, we can give it a shot.
I won’t have time to set up the next round until later tomorrow, so there’s some time to improve the setup if you or anybody else has a particular vision.
If nobody has the time though, because it does take time, we’ll just stick with a random map.
I wasn’t being rude. He replied acting like the lopsided map was no big deal and I said “seems silly to not spend a few minutes making the map even for a round that lasts four weeks”.
It literally would take a few minutes to clean the existing map up and unclick those 14 systems and move them somewhere else.
I have played around with the map maker a lot … I know that it would take literally minutes to load his first attempt back up and fix it. Hell I will make one now.
I believe you @Lord_Pickle, I don’t think your intention was to be rude, even if it came off that way.
Keep in mind, this isn’t the only thing @Soull is working on, and he’s been getting shit from several players since he started. Your point would have been perfectly made without the need to comment on where he puts his time as a volunteer.
Regardless, I’m glad you brought it up and appreciate your help making a map file.
Can we stop wrapping @Soull in bubble wrap. Good spot @Lord_Pickle things like this can make a difference to the game, appreciate these things take time, but absolutely worth highlighting before the round begins.
