The L-cluster is graphically ugly

[max.zero]

I say it not because it's a bad idea
it's an idea that is graphically ugly

The L cluster feels unnatural to the galaxy structure, in theory is a satellite galaxy but in lore is a group of stars that with an imposible tecnology were isolated

In my opinion, the L-cluster should be removed from appearing outside of the galaxy, The L-cluster should appear inside and be part of the galaxy structure

With this change, the perfomance will improve and the galaxy will look more natural, even the L-cluster civilization could interact with other civilizations (of course, still isolated and only accesible by L-Gates)

Of course is only an opinion, I love the outcomes and concepts, but sincerely, it looks ugly outside of the galaxy

I really doubt that spawning the L-Cluster inside the galaxy would have any lasting impact on performances.

As for making it spawn somewhere in the galaxy, the developers have way more urgent problems right now and rewriting the galaxy generation script to accommodate for the L-Cluster would require way more efforts that it's really worth.

It's fine the way it is. Having it spawn outside the galaxy allows it to be clearly visible, have a set layout (hyperlanes can't cross, so it'd be pretty wonky to have to squeeze it inside the existing galactic layout), and works great conceptually as an isolated extragalactic prison.
