Though what may be unknown to many is that it is in fact possible to add in more than 1400 stars manually through the editor without crashing the game. Just don't go overboard...I've added as many as 50 additional systems to a game with no negative affects.

The trouble is that it can take a long time before the game crashes. In my own testing, on my galactic map, when I had more than 1400 systems I found the game would definitely crash, but it might take 40-50 years of game time before it happened. Admittedly I could never tie the crashes specifically down to number of systems, but reducing the number to below 1400 seemed to stop the crashes.

I thought for myself because of the 15 x 15 sector limit, I will set the stars limit lower so the universe feels bigger. [;)]
