    Hey guys,

    So from a UX standpoint, I don't really dig the "Generate New" button on the System selector.

    I, personally, really like "Tropical" maps. So I'm nearly always going to try to get one when I create a game, and I'll always try to have the scale be pretty close to how many players I'm hoping to play with.

    If I can just sit there and mindlessly click "Generate New" until I get the style of System that I want, why not just let me actually choose? A selector for Type and Scale would be excellent here, and since you're allowing users to change up the map type if they don't like it anyway, I don't think it would take anything away from the game.

    Just food for thought. Literally can't turn off the game, loving it! Thanks so much for all your hard work!

    This is why we have the system and planet editor

    Oh, yeah, you're right.
    They should just force people to custom-make their own planets to circumvent this incredibly easy UI fix.

    I prefer a randomly-generated map so that I (or my opponents) don't have an advantage of having played on it before.

    But I want my randomly-generated map a specific size and a specific setting.
