Extragalactic Cluster Start

It is now possible for upto 2 players to start in Extra Galactic Clusters

Note that I have NOT tested this extensively!

One player takes the main EGS civic, the 2nd player takes the 2nd Civic "multiplayer Extra Galactic Start", it has the default grey icon (and is sorted alphabetically).

It should be obvious, but do not take the multiplayer civic outside of multiplayer with a player 1 taking the main civic.

The main civic player makes most of the choices. Their decisions are restricted somewhat:

Spawning constellation is limited to apprentice or antronach.
Spawning system is limited to sol, deneb or ring world
Kerbals are disabled

Whatever other settings they choose apply to both players (gigastructures, connectivity).
Whichever constellation they don't pick, player 2 gets. So the play is always apprentice and antronach constellations.

Player 2 can pick their starting system, that's it.
Player 2's move happens on day 3, to avoid player 1's

If player 1 enables the other extra galatic clusters and enabled a ring of wormholes, then the player in the apprentice cluster always links to steed, and the player in antronach always links to big dipper.

It does not matter who is hosting for who takes the origin.

I have no intention of supporting additional clusters or players, as the amount of code increases geometrically.

That seems like a viable solution. While it does lock the players to Sol, Deneb or Ringworld start, there was probably some issues attempting the other options.
Making it so Player 1 deciding the remaining stats presents a great way to make sure the clusters are balanced in some way (as you say, the Apprentice is a bit better).

If you can add this feature to the mod, that would be awesome.

dose the player taking the first origin have to be the host? or can I host and play a normal origin while my friend plays with an egs empire?

No need to be host at all.

If you set up a custom empire with the player 2 origin would the ai actually spawn correctly?

I don't know, it is completely unsupported. In theory if you force the issue it will spawn, but no idea what will happen. Try it and let me know.
