Hello all,

I know there was a planet cap put into the maps now, of which I disagree with because to those people who don't like the slow down with the whole galaxy covered could just play on smaller galaxies, however that's not my call and even though I'm not happy with it I somewhat can understand it. Now every game I've started or tried to start I've seen a lack of panets near my location or a lack of habitable planets near my starting location.

Even though I've loaded numerous games I've only actually played a turn on three all three have have only a few planets that were habitable near me even though in my settings I have aboundant habitable planets selected. (I hate to see what it would look like the opposite way)

In my current game within on sector in the galaxy of my home planet there are 11 other systems of which only 1 is a three planet, 5 are four planet, and 6 are 5 planet systems, which sound promising. 3 though have no habitable planets, 6 have one habitable planets, however 1 of those is an aquatic world. The remaining two systems have 2 habitable planets of which 1 in each are either aquatic or radioactive worlds.

In the past I normally have near double the number of habitable planets with a set up like that if not more and I've noticed this now in at least 3 games since the v1.8 update. I don't recall this issue as much in beta version 1.7 beta 4, but then again I haven't started a new game since beta 2 or 3.

Please help thank you.
