FQM Poll: Quadrant Choices

Fyron · #1 July 7th, 2003, 07:22 AM

Here is a poll about Fyron's Quadrant Mod that applies equally to Standard and Deluxe.

For Question 2, Dense Mid-life is considered a different quadrant type than Sparse Mid-life.

There's no "zero" option for question #2.

Well then, you will need to try the mod out so you can answer it.

Just a quick comment (that also helps get it back to the top for better visibility...

).

I voted about decreasing but it was a hard vote for me. I mean, it's already built-in so why bother to take it out? Not hurting anything. But I voted that way because I spent a little time looking at all the types and a lot of them appear to be kinda similar. And I know how you use the term dense and sparse (which really requires one to "run around" comparing systems to see what the difference is).

The only thing that "bothered" me (and bear in mind I feel a bit weird about "complaining" about something free), is when you roll a lot of planets up, how often they get strung in a straight line along the edges. I suppose there's no helping it, though, or you might have changed it. Of course

, you might prefer it that way.

Anyway, it's a good gift to the community!

If you look at the default Quadrants, you will see that almost all of them are identical except for the first few lines. They have the same systems in them exactly (mid-life, cluster, spiral, edge, grid, etc.). This made my job easier.

I assure you I did not intend for the planets to form lines. That is an idiosyncracy of how SE4 generates maps.

I realize your questions are geared toward a particular goal (or curiosity).

But, a couple other questions might have been asked:

(1) Do you think the mix of planets and atmospheres gives equal opportunity to any planet type and atmosphere.

(2) What is your favorite galaxy type?

(3) Which galaxy type would you like to see improvements upon?

(of course, this assumes you are interested in adding to what you have already done)
