PlanetsCentral

What I didn’t really like at the beginning and put me a little at a standstill is the map and the location of the planets on it. My home was located on the very edge of the cluster (and I was probably lucky), while the homeworlds of both of my neighbors were on lonely planets (the planets closest to them were at a distance of more than 81 light years).

The map in Titan 8X was random, so this is a case of bad/good luck. We can play with the planet density (i.e. make the map smaller). Also, being at the edge of the map shouldn't be an issue because the map wraps.

So the first wish is to make the process of creating a map more responsible or public (by posting the image of the map before the start of the game, so that players can evaluate it and possibly comment on it)

If there is a fixed map, you can see the map beforehand, for example, like this.

A random map is not generated until Turn 1 is hosted. There just isn't anything to show.

AMaster will try to make the initial conditions somewhat comparable, but I did indeed relax the conditions a bit. The stricter I make the conditions, the longer it runs, and I don't want a host run to take a day. This server runs automatic and there is normally no human to intervene if something takes too long.

The second wish for the game settings. Due to the fact that we are playing a short format of games here on the Panetscenter (the duration of the games does not exceed 80 turns), I suggest changing the ExperienceLevels parameter so that by the end of the game some ships can really earn the Ultra Elite title, i.e.:
ExperienceLevels = 500,1000,2000,4000
instead
ExperienceLevels = 750,1500,3000,6000

Given that I believe only few games with standard ship list and experience have ever been run, I appreciate feedback of this type and I am open to change the standard configuration with this regard.

The more interesting question is whether we'll do a Titan 8X successor The "regular" Titans don't have experience.
