Reasoning: I enjoy playing with my friends against AI, though even in team vs team it would be nice to be able to have your entire team on the same side of the galaxy as you if you choose to do so.


How it would work: In the game set-up, you could set some rough starting points on the Galaxy Type map that players can choose to start at or near depending on how the game randomly generated the universe. This would remove the issue of 2 people from a team being next to each other with 1 guy across the galaxy and right next to the enemy.
