When creating a new game, the upper left box has options for the galaxy Shape ("Spiral - 2", "Ovoid", etc) as well as Size. Below that box there's a blank space. I'd love to see that blank filled with a preview of what the galaxy would look like.

(first suggestion, please let me know if I need to do something differently)

I second this. Often I'm not sure what the mix of settings that I've chosen will create, and if I could "re-roll" the variance before launching the game, knowing what to expect, that'd be a great time saver.

Heroes of Might and Magic V has a similar feature. I'd reference that for direction.

I agree with this as I keep having to restart games due to poor galaxy generation.

Ooh, that'd be great. Definitely break the galaxy up into it's constellations so their size and number of stars can be determined.

I agree this should be done to give the player an idea of what they are going to be getting.

jetkar has asked that I add a poll to this thread, so I have done so. Please vote if you're interested in seeing this change get added to the list!

Voted yes, this should definitely be in the game. Perhaps more types of galaxies as well, but this is probably planned already.

With the game's release, I'd like to get this in front of new people.
