However, it's quite unlikely to have control over it because of linear and predestined type of movement in game. If you have fleet with 1/9 movement points left you will still be able to travel through wormhole instantaneously so it can be useful to travel through them at the end of your movement. Travelling through wormhole require any amount of movement points. When a fleet uses a wormhole, they are instantly transported to a System on the other end, but expend all movement points for the current turn. Wormholes advanced star-lanes that are only visible once unlocked in Stage 4 of Science and Exploration. The number of connections that each node (generally a System) has.Ĭonstellations never connect with one another through star-lanes, but can be reached through warp-drive technology or the discovery of wormholes. Random - The age of the galaxy will be chosen randomly.Old - The galaxy will have more older, cooler stars.Normal - The galaxy will be a mix of hotter and cooler stars.Young - The galaxy will have more younger, hotter stars.A younger galaxy will provide habitable planets less often than an old one. The age of the galaxy determines the probability of each sun type. Many - The galaxy will consist of a larger number of constellations, depending on the maximum value set by its shape.Few - The galaxy will consist of a lesser number of constellations, depending on the minimum value set by its shape.Unique - The galaxy consists of a single large constellation.The shape of constellations is usually determined by the galaxy type, and the number of constellations can be changed in advanced game setup. In most games, 1-2 players will start out in the same constellation somewhere near the fringes of the galaxy. When the galaxy view is zoomed out, the name of each constellation can be seen. The average number of stars per galaxy size.Įach galaxy is composed of multiple constellations, which are clusters of Systems connected by star-lanes. This determines the number of stars in the galaxy (this is further affected by System Density). Random - The shape of the galaxy will be chosen randomly.Twin Elliptical - Two disc galaxies colliding and merging.Spiral - 8 - A spiral galaxy with eight arms.Spiral - 6 - A spiral galaxy with six arms (Community Challenge Pack).Spiral - 4 - A spiral galaxy with four arms.Spiral - 2 - A spiral galaxy with two arms.Disc - 4 - An elliptical galaxy with four sectors.Ovoid - An old galaxy whose arms have disappeared, forming a stretched elliptical galaxy.Different types of galaxies can be selected during game setup, and offer a variety of patterns for the placement of Systems.
