Mod add 6 new Galaxy maps with 275 - 295 sectors, who are randomly generated by using the XUniverseWizard - Random universe generator program:

Add new sector names for all sectors.
Removed all sector descriptions.
Removed sectors voice names - as all sectors now have new names.
Added a new Random start script for each map:
Random start - start the game in a random sector (except Pirate, Xenon, Khaak, Unknown) with a random ship class M5 (5 races) and +1 insurance.
=========================================================================================

I did some tests of the new maps, at first look, everything seems to be generated correctly, but I cannot guarantee 100% that there will be no problems/errors/bugs in the new maps - so use these maps at one's own risk.

==========================================================================================

Mod add 20 new Galaxy maps with 300 sectors, who are randomly generated by using the XUniverseWizard - Random universe generator program:

-----------------
Hostile maps

Peaceful maps

Random maps

Unknown maps
--------------------


Add new sector names for all sectors.
Removed all sector descriptions.
Removed sectors voice names - as all sectors now have new names.
Added a new Random start script for each map:
Random start - start the game in a random sector (except Pirate, Xenon, Khaak, Unknown) with a random ship class M5 (5 races) and +1 insurance.
==============================================================================================================================

IMPORTANT NOTE
Show
1) In each folder are few galaxy maps without sector screenshots, there are only sectors statistics screenshots, it's because player now need to yourself to flying and discovering all sectors in the galaxy map.
The main idea is, that in the game you have to yourself explore new sectors, not just looked at galaxy map screenshot.
2) Random universe generator when generates new maps, it puts gates in the Unknown, Xenon and Knaak sectors further from the sector center, approximately 100 - 160+ km and therefore in the game in the galaxy map menu, it looks as there are no gates in the sectors, but there are gates in all sectors, there are no sectors without gates.

3) For these who really wants to look at these Galaxy maps without sectors screenshots, there are full sectors screenshots: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/8jvuc9 ... alaxy+maps
