Thank for all the input and help.If you want a really custom setup you can set the chance of nprs to zero. Use the random setup instead of the sol system start (top center of the screen). Then pick sm race as the current race turn on sm functions and open (F9) use the create system or create nebula buttons until you get a system you want to use as your starting system. As you do this take notes of other systems that could have a npr based in them (use the system name). Go to the jump point tab and select your outgoing jump points. You may need to click on the button for break jump point links, but after that you can select the jump point you want each one to conect to. Go to the systems you want to create an npr in and create empire near the top is a toggle for creating the npr. You will be able to set the size population and other stuff like it was a regular empire, but once created you will have no control over it. This way you can set up multiple nprs with different levels of population/technology and put them a few jumps from your home system. Talk about a custom setup.
