Was playing a lot of Space Empires V over the break and I rather like the wormhole-placed-at-galaxy-angle rule (if we do it in AI War it will be optional, of course, just a play-style preference).  There was an earlier request for something like this but we had understood it to mean that the galaxy-map-nodes would be placed in relation to their wormhole placements, rather than the other way around.  That would have been impossible in a lot of cases ;)

It'd just be another map-generation algorithm.  People who like what we have can still use it, you just add more options.

And really, you only have to have the galaxy map laid out that way, the worm holes in systems can be every-which-way as they already are.
