I was just wondering if there's any way to make it so that you can mod
gas clouds so when you start a new galaxy they always start at size 100.

The reason for this is because currently when zoomed into ships the game lags so if there's
a battle going on there it's hard to watch through all the lag.

100 seems to be a good size and I think the clouds should still be mineable at this size.
What I've been doing currently is going into the map editor and editing each gas cloud
to make it this size, as you might imagine this takes a very long time, especially if I end
up deciding I want to start a new game.

So if there's any easier way of accomplishing this, such as a mod, it would be very nice.

Nothing at the moment, Vince. I'm hoping for a custom map creator/editor. Something similar to the in-game editor, so that we can setup the galaxy just how we want it.

I was patient, but after doing that a couple times and starting a new game a few times it
gets annoying. So I'm kinda just going with the lag.

Fingers crossed for a patch.
