The "children of the ancients" ringworld start seems a bit underpowered from my initial look at it. If thats what you were going for, cool. But outside of the RP perspective (in which it's awsome), it's a much harder start with all those tile blockers and not much to make up for it.

It looked like the system itself was more weighted towards science bonuses on the planets/celestials. That in itself might be enough to balance it tbh.

The original starting system was way overpowered with 25 tiles on the home world and all the research bonus from the ring parts and on the planet aswell. I may have nerfed it a bit too much though. Balancing is never easy ;) What would you suggest?

How about the Home Systems from the Mass Effect Species?

If you can give me a source of information, I would add them with pleasure. I just did not find anything more but the names of the home planets and their system´s name.

Ok I found some useful informations for the most important systems. I think I´ll do them quickly while waiting for the coding of the dwarven system. ;)

Ok I hope you like the quarian home system. I will add more tomorrow and throughout the weekend. :)

I suggest the real Epsilon Eridani System. I know, Epsilon Eridani may apear as a random generated system, but the real one (3th closest visible star to our sun) is quite awsome. It has a gas giant orbiting it and a huge ring of dust (There are pictures on Google and Wikipedia). Inside this dust cloud might be another Planet. In reality it has no habitable Planet (as we know), but you can ad a homeworld between the star and the gas giant, orbiting the gas giant or even indide the enormous circumstellar disk. I don't know if it's possible to ad the signature dust disc, but it would be the whole point of this home system and it would look awsome.

Nice work on the systems so far.

Hmm, i know that effects can clip through objects, this is what happens in the children of the ancients system. I will ask our 3d artist from mem if he thinks this is possible in an easy way ;)

I wonder if it would be possible to have a system where you start on two planets? Say a senario where you've managed to colonize a moon or something before your species developed FTL travel?

There is already a mod for this. I have seen it this week. You can add a trait to your species at the species creation screen that gives you an extra colonized planet. But I am not sure how that would interfere with system initialisers. It does work though on random systems I am sure from what I read in the mod description.

@Eisvisage I have finally come around to do the system you suggested, just having the planet sitting inside the asteroid belt seemed to be a bit underwhelming though so I waited for an idea to make it a little bit more special. I think the outcome is acceptable ;)

Yay, thank you :)

Well, your Mods is Epic.
How about the Home Systems from the Perry Rhodan Universe?

To be honest i do not really know much more than his name :) If you could describe what you would like to have specifically it shouldn´t be a big problem.
