Summary0011231: Map suggestion: User-specified map generation parameters
DescriptionCurrently, the only control over the map generator is a style and number of planets. The suggestion here is to add style-specific parameters that would allow players to tweak the style. This would add much variety to the map generator without needing to add new map styles.

For example, on the cluster type maps, there could be some parameters for max/min cluster size (or just one with a small/medium/large choice) and maybe a parameter controlling the max number other clusters each cluster can connect with.

On an X map, there could be "branch frequency" parameter and/or a maximum hub size parameter.

For a Grid or Crosshatch type map, there could be a maximum width or height parameter, which could make for narrow chain or ladder-like maps if you used a small number. (See also 0006984)

In general. the parameters would depend on how you generate the map, but for a bunch of styles there could be a maximum hub size parameter.
