player setup 1212121 rather then 1111122222

from Sins Forums
Hi , would it be possible for IC to do a

12121212 setup for maps rather then a 1111122222

this way on maps such as systems at war - 5v5 map

the 1111122222 system atm causes problems with 4(1st team)+ 1(2team) on one side and on the other side 3(2nd team) when you do 4v4.

With 1212121212 setup , you will always have an even amount of players on each side.

if you decide to play team games it shouldn't matter at all.

Actually, it does that period by design decision -- if at all possible, the game will always put at least one opposing player in a given starting system. They wanted to "get the game going" as quickly as possible.

while a laudable effort, putting one player in the same system with 4 players is ... well stupid. by the time long range jumps are researched and the other team could send backup, chances are the single player is already wiped out and that is rather frustrating.

if its an equal number, say a 4 vs 4 but with 2 on 2 in two solar systems it could work out and would even be an interesting option, but 4 vs 1 is just not good imo.

Agreed, and you should have read some of my (other) comments, which mentioned something to the effect of "yeah, its really stupid"

I can now confirm that when you go to create your own galaxy you can select how you would like the players distributed. In our scenario maps you won't be able to select this.
