More Galaxy shapes/formations?

Although there are some good formations already in the game, I feel that they are mostly built for games that have an even number of players(except for ovloid). I'm not very practiced with astronamy, but there must be some more out there cause I play Ovliod almost always and it gets kinda old.

Are there more? Should there be more? I think so, but what about you?

They have the main classes covered but there are irregular galaxy's that have been discovered. Some examples...

The bird galaxy which is a big cross.

That could be good for a 4-way. Start in an arm and race to the center to get to the other faction. Or turtle up in your arm.

There is also the Cartwheel galaxy which is a thin rim with a really dense center.

Maybe the factions could start on the sparse rim and fight their way through limited choke points to get to the juicy center.

Try playing a game with a galaxy that has more arms than the number of players.

I just did, and it was interesting to consider weather going for a 2nd arm was worth the risk and destruction or weather sticking in my safe arm would work better.
