Talk:Feature Requests - Master

From PlanetsWiki

Couple of problems that I see: 1. Master doesn't determine the Star Types of stars. This is all pre-determined by the Map being used. A nice feature to add to master would be the ability to generate a random map for use in play. If it had that, then all your comments with regards to Star Types/Heat and their distribution would be appropriate. Or even the ability to take an existing map and randomly 're-distribute' Star Types, ignoring what is specified by the map being used. This type of thing would take away any advantage a host or other players would have by being able to study a custom map that other players don't have. (yes, ultimatly the host would still be able to figure out the details of the map.. but you have to trust the host, really, to play fairly)

2. There also seems to be a correlation between Star Type and Soil/Horticulture Rating. In that, Stars with extreme heats (hot/col) and thus extreme climates have low Soil ratings. But I figured this was by design as a game balancing issue. Ie. Solorians get super-high growth on that Hot planet, but absolutly need to get food elsewhere, as they won't get much where they are.
