So I was wondering about pre-defined starting systems. So far the only one I've heard about is the Sol system, which is a rough approximation of our IRL solar system. I had assumed all this affected was the system itself, but on a couple of introductory streams it's been shown that the closest systems had familiar names like Alpha Centauri and Barnard's Star. Seems like at least the names of neighbouring stars can be pre-defined as well? Has anyone heard, or can a dev confirm if the option for pre-defined starts can include stuff like nearby Fallen Empire?
The reason I'm asking is that I thought it would be cool for Sol to be relatively close (like 5-10 systems away) to a Fallen Empire that bears a striking resemblance to the classic Grey-type aliens of Roswell etc fame. The closest out of the current portraits is probably the one I'm using as my avatar right now, but someone will definitely mod something even sillier in soon enough. There might be a special first contact message saying something like "Wait... don't we know you guys?" but otherwise the game would act dumb about it and leave it as a implied implication kinda thing.
It's probably too silly too be added into the game by default, but would be fun to mod in as an optional thing if the code is flexible enough. Would definitely fit the tone of a more light-hearted B-scifi game where all the aliens are people with animal heads and walking mushrooms anyway.
