Map Creation Problems (and maybe a solution?)

The Problem:

I am continuously getting the same map:  1 Giant "Super Sector", at a various points in a tree of only 7 or 8 sectors.  The sector layout also seems to be leaving a lot of potential map spaced unused.   The Map generator just really seems to struggle with creating a large and competitive map.  Having anywhere from 30-50% of AI players in 1 sector puts all of those races at a strategic disadvantage, when carefully placed ships can blockade them into that sector.

The Solution?:

Could we put more of the map creation parameters into the hands of the users?  

#Map space left unused.  This could control the number of sectors the map can generate, and their spacing.

#Sector size in general and for Player Starting Sector

#Starting races per sector in general and for Player Starting Sector

#Warp points per sector in general  and Player Starting Sector

The Map Creator can have guardrails built it.  E.G.:  If you want 1 race per sector for everyone, but the number of races exceeds the possible sectors, then it just won't start the game (but tell you why).
