I haven't had enough experience to know for sure, but I have seen people saying there is no thought put into each Race's starting placement when beginning a game.
Do you find this to be the case? I would hate to play on a Large or Huge galaxy only to find I wasted my time and got no challenge because I was placed in a position by luck that significantly gave me an advantadge.
If this is true, and even if it isn't, would it be smart to have starting locations (while still random) be selectable from preset rules, such as say, equally spaced far apart, placed only on the outside (causing a fight for control of the middle), placed closed together on the inside (allows for a whole different type of game), etc.
Just curious to see what some people's thoughts/experiences with this are. Thanks!
