Random placement of players?

Bug since last update?

As I was rewriting my hourglass galaxy as I wasn't satisfied with it, and to bring it up to date to the latest version, I came across something very peculiar.

Every time I start a game, the teams are set randomly. I could be teamed with either of the AI's above the Star, or next to me on the same side of the star.

Now I've looked over the galaxy file several times and I can't spot the issue. Has anyone come across anything similar?

Everyone has the same problem.

PlayerId allocation seems to be very arbitrary.

So it's FUBAR'ed since the update? I didn't have this issue prior to the last two Beta 3 updates.

Nope. It's random since we were able to make custom .galaxy files.

But it wasn't random prior to the last two beta 3 updates? That or I just got lucky and never experienced it.
