Are contacts identical in a seed? Also is the current default map the one that will ship with the launch release or do you think you will swap it out? Contacts are part of the saved game, not the map. So they are not identical, they are unique to each Captain. We might swap out the default map before launch, still haven't decided.

Great map, have a Mokk Explorer in the middle bottom Farm zone that is just golden for resources and is a perfect starting zone. I'll try to post a ss, assuming I can get Imgur to work properly.

Love this game. A few minutes later my Mok Explorer is sailing the same space you are.
In fact, I landed in the same zone.
Going to play this map a while for build testing.

There is a perfect Indy HTI in the South, and an Indy Refinery in the North. Perfect way to get some steady income. (Mokk starting zone (south central Farm))

(Mokk starting zone (south central Farm)) I can see that there is a great future in tutorials that provide a map seed! "Pick up this map, play Mok explorer and follow my steps to the exact worlds I name." Oh la la.

Seeds will be nice for tutorials, but they don't give the same contacts so you can't really have the tutorial give an exact set of steps to follow for too long. Contacts are too important to the game.

Map Seed st-v01-40-4-180038349Positives: There are a lot of indie landing zones throughout, but a pretty heavy concentration in the area shown boxed, several Tradeways, Refineries, Mining, Orbitals, including an indie tradeway with Trade Law 1 (for artifact selling). This allows you to include this in your trade runs, and I can make a quick 100k in credits passing through. Favorite Strategy is with Merchant/Explorer or Merchant Spy. The Explorer talent for extracting artifacts after Xeno battles and the Pirate Zealot talent to extract intel records [Rough Interrogation] lets you sell a batch of artifacts everytime you pass through the area, and use the Xeno intel records to 'buy' your way into getting fast effective rep with contacts who buy intel. Favorite Faction is Thulun, puts you just to the right of boxed area to start, and the sector 2 jumps to the right has all of the landing zone types that the starting sector doesn't have.

MintDragon - wow, I love the look of that seed, especially the crazy western arm. I will play on it when testing new Contact features tonight.

Contacts are too important to the game. It is feasible that we could drive contact generation from the same seed and make it the same every time you ran the seed, but that seems majorly restrictive of replay.
