Non-Sol Start

[Konisforce (OP)]

I'm trying to figure out a non-sol start with a new race.   I've checked out the wiki page hxxp: aurorawiki. pentarch. org/index. php?title=Create_a_custom_race but I can't make a new system.

When I go to the system summary (CTRL+F9) I get three options across the bottom - Refresh, Matches, and Close.

You want the F9 screen. Not Ctrl-F9. And make sure you have the SM Race selected. I believe that is Ctrl-F2.

Spacemaster mode is Ctrl-S

Generate a new game, select create SM race, start the game, select spacemaster race, turn SM on, hit F9, generate systems until you find something habitable, drop an empire on the habitable planet.

Thanks all!  My empire of Space Vikings is off to a roaring start.

I didn't think of the fact that I was starting Space Vikings on a planet with an average temperate of 30 celcius, but next time.   Next time.

I hope you use boarders often if you're playing the space vikings.

Average temp. Obviously there are freezing continents full of Fjords and ruined stone circles at both poles. This is where the vikings live.

Naturally! 

Actually, I did a restart after having read a bit more on the forums, and this time I got (w/in 5 system creations) a 90% water planet with an average . 4 degrees C.   Truly Space Vikingesque.
