I want to suggest a starting option which garantees to place every empire at roughly the same distance from each other (FE would still be random).
When I wanted to create a game in which each starting empire would have much space to expand to and later meet and fight each other after much development.

I created a threat in the normal forum about this https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...he-risks-of-random-starting-locations.989348/
Here is a screenshot after nearly 2 hours:
