Painted Galaxy - Ring of Fire

A custom map made with Paint a Galaxy by Oatmeal Problem, with some custom fine-tuning and star relocation and re-connection (or disconnection) from the main hyperlane network.

Features:
-Three different premade versions in one download: No Clusters (No isolated clusters, more compatible with FE spawning), Clusters (An isolated cluster between each spoke) and Isolated (Each cluster has a potential empire spawn location.) The 'No Clusters' version has 625 static stars, the other two have 715 static stars.
-Eight spokes with many internal connections and few internal chokepoints, and an inner ring that serves as the pathway between them with multiple one-star chokepoints.
-Disconnected constellations reachable by Jump Drives or by modded methods such as Hypertraversal Manipulation.
-Support for up to 24 Empires and 3 Fallen Empires.
-Gigastructures and DarkSpace support in the core.

Possible Issues:
-Not made with the L-Cluster in mind. I generally play with it off, so that's unlikely to change.
-Special systems, modded or vanilla, have a chance of spawning as part of the disconnected constellations.
-Fallen Empire systems - especially with ACOT - can generate new hyperlanes, connecting the clusters to the spokes. The same goes for Gigastructural Engineering: the EHOF 'Mysterious Hieroglyphs' Dig Site generates a new black hole system that might, depending on spawn location, connect a cluster to a spoke.
