Star Offset

[Captainredfox]

I know simple 2 line suggestions are bad but how complicated can I make this:

Stars and there orbits aren't always in the exact center of the "star system" squares. This would make the galaxy look a lot more natural.

How it is now:

How it would be:

The offset wouldn't be 2d, or at this scale.
It would also look nice to have more empty systems.

I think the uniformity gives a bit of charm to Starmade.

Stars actually are offset. It isn't every one, but if you look at the galaxy map and look down the "rows" of stars you'll see that a fair number of them vary in their position. It isn't a lot of them, nor is it an extreme difference, but it does occur.

It still looks an awfully lot like a grid in the core of the galaxy. I think there just need to be more void systems in-between star systems to space them out. The arms of galaxies are like this now due to their lower star count and they look a lot better than core space. It might be a good idea just to spread galaxies out a bit. They feel too densely packed anyway.

Yes, I see that now. You learn something new every day I guess.
Well, in my opinion I think it would look better if all stars were offset.
