I have the number of stars set to Abundant (the highest it can go I think), but on the biggest maps there is still an awful lot of empty space. Is there a way to mod the game so that it uses twice the number of stars (for example)?
I also noticed that in one of the tutorial videos, the planet Earth is orbiting a star called "Primus" or something. Is there a way to stop the game giving everyone those crappy (and virtually identical) star systems every time? I'd like my home systems to be a bit more random.
