Custom map editor?

[S.C. Watson]

Haven't seen or heard anything about this, so I thought I'd ask -

Will the base game ship with a custom map editor - in other words, will I be able to create my own galaxy instead of using a randomly generated one?

Thanks!

Good question, this would be critical for any great Star Wars or Star Trek mods!

I'd say it's not critical, but useful. Still you could make your own map! Space EU4 map anyone?

I don't know about you, but I am a HUGE Star Wars nerd. Any Star Wars mod without a THE galactic map will feel hollow. Plus, it would be SO COOL to actually be able to interact with and use such a map as reference!

Would be cool, I find the galaxy a little bit to sorted, the star systems are too even arranged, nearly all have the same distance to each other, there's no spot of closer systems to the core f.e and way more distances in the outer rims etc.
Is it possible to get something like a random calculator for arranging star systems? To get more uneven results like the Star wars galaxy f.e

Or how easy / hard is it to mod the galaxy?

Hopefully this can be answered in the next dd about modding!!!! An editor would be great where you can just drag and drop or move star systems around in your galaxy.

Well, there has been AGOT mod for CK2 with custom map made without map editor

Yeah but the difference is that CK2 maps always have the same start point depending on date, where as Stellaris seems to have only procedurally generated map options so far...

The easy thing here is that the star systems itselfs are generated randomly. It's just a matter of arranging 1000 Systems/spots over the map. So it shouldn't be that hard to do.

I'm working on a tool like this, for now you can generate random galaxy, or use a png image to generate a galaxy

The game supports custom galaxies, but out of the box only by hand coding each star system So it's up to third party tools to build on that.
