My last map seed. The RNG has rolled STUPIDLY in the player favor:
4 homeworlds in a row, honeycomb map and 50 planets. Outside homeworld itself has one system to jump to... which has super-terminal. From THAT one there is also only one wormhole, which led to an advanced AI command station sitting in (its) firing rang of the wormhole (Bomber-clearing tachyton, then Cloaked transports are recommended.)
Now it gets ridiculous, there are Factory four all over the place. In four jump distance from HW, there is a world with core beam frigate fabricator AND factory four. I went stumbling in a Core missile frigate 2 jump away in a system with only 2 access, and showdown. I scouted west and found a system with Turret missiles mark V, Core Starship beam (and I already had frigate beam V), bulletproof V, AND Advanced Starship constructor. >D
Took the damned system, downloaded lightning torpedo frigate design while noting the decoy fabricator above my 3 fabricator system, with lightning turret fabricator in the neighborhood. Noted the system stuck between my 2 first taken system had Experimental engineer fabricator plus an advanced starship constructor.
By that point I was
fairly very happy. I went north, skipped an ARS system which zenith siege engine as first choice, beam frigate as second choice, plus Experimental speedbooster as fabricator. Lacking knowledge I went 5 jumps away from my territory and aimed for the Archive world.
It had an ARS, not too uncommon, it also had
freaking shield bearer V fabricator. Couldn't hack because of the distance, so I blew up the station and got colony ships there, careful to ensure that the archive didn't get blow up.
Station complete its construction, ARS kindly inform me: Protector Starship Unlocked >D >D >D
At which point I turned my eye back toward the ARS system that I had previously ignored, and suddenly noticed that there was a second fabricator I hadn't noticed.
Core Protector Starship.
Gosh, that is the most ridiculous mapseed I have ever gotten.
I happens to have gotten the map seed if anyone want it: 226354114, use 50 planets, honeycomb, and the four homeworld at in the bottom line. If lobby is correct, you will get the same design/ARS/fabricator seed.
It made my double nine game quite ridiculous.
