I GET A LOT OF GALAXYES WITH 326.16 DIAMETER
I think that is something wrong with the glaxies if i click randomly on some galaxies i get almost 1 out of 6 times 1 galaxy with 326.16 kly diameter!

does anyone else noticed that?

3 ex in 10 clicks !

The largest that procedural galaxies can be in SE is 100 kpc in diameter, which is 326.156 kly. What's happening is you're clicking on the brightest, largest galaxies, which represent only a tiny fraction of the galaxies in SE. If you actually go to a region of space containing 100, 1000, or even more galaxies, and check the sizes of all the galaxies within it, you won't find the same size twice.

ok I got it, those who have 326.16 kly are far, but why not 326.18 or .56 or maybe 358.99, majority are .16? why not 587.48kly ?
I meant the randomness must be something even in the distance!

if im mistaken im sorry

Because galaxies in SE cannot be larger than that, as I said. The engine cannot generate enough stars in extremely large galaxies.
