It still feels like it just gives me a random system based loosely on my 'suggestions'. What I'm saying is that I don't feel like I have much control over Forge. The result is that I'm struggling to build one ship at a time and unable to unlock upgrades with while the Covenant attacks me less than a half hour into a 1v1 on a 119 planet system. I'm playing as UNSC against the Covenant and hoping to get a little head start, you know? But the game then randomly starts me on my Capital Temperate planet (okay) surrounded by Asteroids and Barren planets (dafuq?) on a 119 planet solar system (I was hoping for about 80-something, but I guess '76-120 planets' includes 119 planets), the Covenant seemingly only a few planets away and almost every rebel-held planet having a fleet with multiple Eion-class Light Carriers.
I'll admit to trying to cheat a little for an advantage, making Planet Group 0 all Temperate planets before creating a mix of different gravity wells for the remaining ones (Planet Groups 1-4, with all Planet Groups having 4-5 gravity wells).
But it always creates a solar system that's 'best guestimate'. I want to create a solar system with a specific number of planets, planet types in a certain order, etc.
