Status: offline 		is it supose to be posible for two races to start the game with homeworlds in the same system because my last game on an elipse 1400 stars 19 races sparce colonys 15x15 sectors had my securan union started in the same system as a zenox empire my home world was in the inner part of the system thiers in the outer. if it is possible maby we need a check box that state empires start in thier own systems

Status: offline 		Another thing, how would the influence and borders handle this situiation. is this a bug or just an extremly unlikely set of events like getting struck by lightning while getting attacked by a great white shark. Seriouly I'm Scrating my head here I've played probalby 60 plus games if not more of this game since the orgional distant worlds and this is the first for me this has happened

Status: offline 		I can answer the first part; it is possible for empires to start in the same system. It is even an option to choose that in the empire set up I believe. It just "randomly" decided to put another empire in the same system as yours.
Dunno how it handles the culture\borders though..

With my luck, I would start in the same system as the Shaturi!

What's wrong with that? No trouble of getting a fleet there to invade them before they build some decent defenses. Sounds like a Brucie bonus to me!

This isn't something I say very often, but Kayoz has a point here.

I'd say that by default, homeworlds should never be in the same star system. Honestly, that should only ever occur if you specifically check the option for it (if there is one). Otherwise, homeworlds should be distributed more or less evenly.

Again, this is only what I'm suggesting should happen by default, with no tweaking of the game setup options.

Status: offline 		In the game I'm having right now, I had two colonies in one system. I lost one colony to an empire I was at war with. I couldn't build anything in the system. So guessing in this instance when you have opposing empires with colonies, your influence cancels each others out.
