Two Spiral Galaxies - Performance

Description
I always wanted to be able to have more than one galaxy in the game. So I made this using the Stellaris Galaxy Generator by Retalyx.

This is a lite map mod, designed to be played on almost any system without lag.

------------------------

The map is a static "galaxy", with two major clusters of stars, each numbering in and around 400-440 stars. There exists no hyperlanes between the two galaxies. I've designed the mod to have inter-galactic warfare be an end game thing, requiring either the Jump Drive or Psi Jump Drive in order to cross the vast distance between the two galaxies.

In order to set it up how I wanted it to, I had to extend each Jump Drive's range to a multiplier of 7.0. Obviously this would make it very unbalanced, so I changed both drives to work like warp drives, but with much faster travel (6 times faster than warp 1), and much larger range, but not instantaneous like default jump drives. If you're using wormhole technology, you'll probably only want to use jump drives for traveling between galaxies.

------------------------

if anyone knows how to get rid of the galaxy center graphic, I would like to hear it, thanks. Also if anyone knows how to expand the map height and width beyond the 1000 limit please let me know and I will completely rework this mod to include numerous galaxies.

------------------------

Map width and height = 1000
Number of galaxies = 2
Combined star count = 862
Random or Static systems = Static location, random contents
Nebula = None for the moment, might add some later between the galaxies to slow down the crossing speed

Designed to be played with a maximum of 31 empires. I recommend using a mod that adds more pre-ftl species to the game to make the galaxies more emergent, and to use a mod that allows jump drives/psi drives to be researched no matter what FTL you're using.

other than that I have been wanting the same exact thing

Suggestion: Instead of changing jumpdrives, add a new type of drive, make it work the same way, have it be a rare tech with the same weight tech weight as jump and use that.
This is just so that people don't have to deal with the annoance of not having te great jump drives

You could make the center dark, I've seen a mod where there was a black galatic center.
