I didn't really like the original layout, it wasn't interesting enough, or close enough to the vision I had of an hour glass.
So I started over, there's only desert worlds now, one pirate world, and the center is a gasgiant.
I've been hesitant to upload the galaxy file for it however, since I can't seem to lockdown the player starting positions since the last Beta 3 updates. They shuffle the players around at random, so you may not always start allied to the player next to you, but rather to an player across the galaxy. And that ruins the concept of the hourglass.
Anyway feedback is welcome.
