Minor Faction Annoyence

I realize this is a *minor* (yes, I know what I did there) problem, but it kinda bugs me that it seems that with all my start scums, I always seem to get saddled with a small pool of the same minor civilizations. Are the minor factions weighted differently for different major factions? For instance, are the Vaulters supposed to see X, Y and Z factions more often than others in their starting constellation? 


I ask this for minor reasons (yes, I made another minor pun), but it would be nice to know if they are weighted differently, and if it's possible to tweak them on my end, or perhaps mod the game in some way to give folks better control over their immediate neighbors for any variety of reasons (roleplaying, strategy, min/maxxing, etc.).


Yes, I am aware of custom factions, but that only gives you 1 minor faction with your starting stuff, and I'm not sure mods that allow more are what I'm really looking for. (I'd REALLY like to play a Vanilla Vaulters game with a nearby Pilgrims enclave cuz Humanity!). 


Any help would be MAJORLY appreciated and thanks in advance.

No and no. They are completely random, all with the same entry weight.

U can check out and tweak their entry weights (these weights define it for the whole galaxy tho and it can't be set for specific Major Faction) in Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2\Public\GalaxyGenerator\WeightTableDefinitions.xml

All you need is some luck then! :D
