I know 5 planets in a system is rare, but is it impossible to spawn on one?

Your starting system will always be a 4 planet system. I don't think this can be changed without using mods.

I can see the logic of locking the start system size. It would be a pretty unfair advantage if one player's home system had 3 planets while another's had 5. I do think it would be nice if there were a super start option where everybody began in a 5 planet system.

....ewwww.

I have a photo of a start that included teohna, skyjao, and a atoll huge mediterainian huge and terran large with all tier zero resources and jadonyx within the visual start of my empire. Lol. That was the best, 

Nearby nodes can be five, never the home starting node. 

Unless chaotic start is enabled in the galaxy generator. Rng to the maxxxx
