Irregular Galaxy Shape

[Munqaxus]

Could we get irregular galaxy shapes added to the type of galaxies we can select at game startup. Irregular galaxies are galaxies that don’t form rings, spiral or donuts but are irregularly shaped.

I attached an image of one, in case anyone is curious.

Thought I would add some more pictures of irregular galaxies. I'm kind of surprised we don't already have irregular galaxies in the game, to be honest.

Those images look like galactic collisions.

Is a crashed car an "irregular vehicle"?

The bottom one looks like when I win as the Crisis.

Functionally, I assume they'd basically be like an elliptical galaxy with wobblier edges? Do you have a more fleshed out idea on that?

The last one is a planetary nebula not a galaxy (it's NGC 6302, aka the butterfly nebula)
But otherwise, I agree, more galaxies shape would be a nice addition.

Opps, my fault. Still, I think irregular galaxies would be something amazing to add to the game. It would add more strategy because choke points could be much different from galaxy to galaxy. Plus visual, it would add a lot to the game in the way of map diversity.

Lem 3.1 did not bring the irregular galaxies everyone so desires!

I'm on a campaign to get Paradox to implement Irregular galaxies! Here are some more photos of irregular galaxies, since we up to version 3.4.5. On a side note, one of the patches should be called Hubble just to honor the awesome telescope that has been in space since 1990, that has give us so many beautiful photographs. I can't wait for the Webb Telescope to get some time under it's belt.

Hubble picture of 2 galaxies intertangling

Hubble image: II Zw 096 - 2 Irregular Galaxies interacting with each other.

Another Hubble Image: NGC 1569. At the center of this irregular galaxy is 3 massive star clusters with over a million stars in each cluster.
