Revealing the map?

Just make a trait that gives you 2000 sensors and you can see everything.

I have been playing arround with map settings a lot lately.

I'd like to know if there is a cheat/command that allows me to reveal the whole map when I start a game. I wanna see how consistent things like placement of homeworlds, planet class distributions etc. are.

Thanks in advance for your answers

yes there is,.... bring up the consel and use small caps type fow hit enter

You bring it up by pressing the "`" key, usually to the left to the "1" key of the row of numbers.

Thanks for the quick answers

Unfortunately the "`" key can't be directly typed on my german keyboard, so the concsole doesn't show up. Any solutions for that?  

I tried to use the on-screen keyboard but it switches back to german layout in-game...

The key character depends on the keyboard layout. see my reply (#26) in Console Commands.

Use the "ö"-key.

Got it now, thanks so much!
