Getting 'large quadrants' with more systems

[Artaud]

In some mods (Deathstalker for one) it's very difficult to get the game to generate large quadrants with as many systems as, say, the Star Trek mod. I'm getting a couple dozen at most.

Is there any secret to getting lots of systems in your "large quadrants"?

Right now what I'm doing is creating maps with the map editor, which is fun but rather time-consuming.
