just a simple picture UI showing you the preview for the star map when you pick your map seed.  so you can see whether ot not you like the map before starting.
cuz imo its unfortunate when your like 2 hours in a run and when you finally decide to make a colony you realise that there are no good systems near by and the vacinity of the core worlds is just an empty void with like one blackhole or an empty system "and also the best habitable world you found is an arid with high gravity somewhere far away kek"
you can avoid that by making and deleting a save  and checking the map untill you find a good seed but thats anoying . so yeah thats about it.

This is a good idea.

I feel like a better solution would be to reduce the variance in sectorgen. If most people would be rerolling sectors until the get one where there's an average age constellation near the core, the game should just guarantee it.

Also, JFYI, Penelope's Star, a system in the core worlds, is always guaranteed to spawn with a 125% hazard desert world. So in a sense the fallback for garbage sectorgens is already there, it's just not a very good one.

When life gives you lemons, throw a tantrum, accuse life of being lazy, and request an option to preview what kind of fruit you will receive...

At this point, why not suggest Alex to make core worlds not prune so many stars around them?

idk man i just wanna see the star map before clicking  play so i can have a decent end game and have fun My Way. i dont think am throwing a tantrum or accusing anyone.

honestly you can tell him to make the nearest star 100LY away all im asking is to not make it a chore to go from and to your colony as well as the accesability debuffs. thats why am asking for a map preview to reduce the chance of long trips. is that too much to ask for ?

[Yunru]

I mean, if long trips is the issue, there's a certain quest line...

[Amoebka]

Doing a several hour long quest chain to gain the ability to save time travelling seems rather counterproductive.

[SafariJohn]

ikr. I kind of wish there was a way to bypass parts of it if you know the secrets already. Like how you can reach the Zig as soon as you have TJ.

[Megas]

Not to mention doing the quest permanently wrecks one system enough to prevent its colonization.

Also, some of the enemies during that quest appear to be high-powered.  I prefer to be at endgame strength to crush them (or at least be at their level) before starting the quest (which I did), and have plenty of money to not care about diplomacy that involves bribery (just pay 'em and get on with it).

I suggested an abridged version of the quest once you've beaten it once to Alex a while ago and he responded positively, so I'm hopeful that will be improved.
