Bigger Solar Systems

Description
Increases the size of solar systems while keeping similar population density

Current Changes:
-Sector Size doubled in radius.

-NPC and pirate spawns quadrupled to fill all the extra empty space.

-missions, stations, and POI counts roughly doubled and spawn slightly farther apart (this stops mission spam from covering every square inch of the map, a side effect of increasing it's size)

-more asteroid belts can spawn and said belts now spawn at random distances

-hyperjump beacons tripled instead of doubled to make hyperdrives more useful

-max zoom doubled

-planets now spawn farther apart

feedback is appreciated.

I was surprised Darkspace Core was the only mod to effect system size and wanderer spawns. I wanted an alternative with slightly different generation and found nothing so I made this. I will be taking requests for a period of time and if I think the mod is a good idea ill give it a shot. Obviously no guarentee your idea will be finished or even used, but i want to help make mods that should exist but dont for some reason.

mirroring Khyron1 your mod made the game much more playable with larger systems, hope you find the time to fix it.

As of version 0.26.2 , crash on start up even with mod rules updated with CompatibleGameVersions = ["0.26.2"]. Hoping you will update this awesome and essential mod.

Sounds good, I'll let you know if it works in newly-visited systems.

it effects world generation so I would imagine it would only effect systems you havent been in. i havent tested this however so who knows what itll do.

just duplicate your career save and test it, if it works great! if not then just revert to the backup

Quick question, is this able to be added mid-career mode (even if it doesn't affect the system you're currently in)?

I love this mod. I second Lord_Havoc. I'd love to see some scalability options.

Have you tried/testing how far you can push the engine? like x3/x4/x5/xX sizes. I'd love to see an epic scale solar system
