New Galaxy Forge setups:

- Random for Sizes
- Random Moons
- Random Companion Star
- Random Anomaly

Here are some ideas and things that will be included with future releases:

- new bonuses and abilities for planets and stars
- new planets and stars
- New Maps and Updating my maps with events/story
  (if ever possible)
...

Known issues:
- sometimes the corona effect of the companion stars are shown before you zoomed in or explored the star,
  The problem exists with all effects that attached to meshes via mesh points.
  (see the TEC starbase you will see the glow on the top before the body shows up, too)

vanilla Version issues:

- only the custom scenarios appear in the map menu, to fix this:
  Sins treats the mod's Galaxy folder as the Galaxy folder,
  meaning it ignores the standard one if a mod has one. 
  So the solution is to copy/paste every map you have in the Galaxy folder
  in your Sins install folder into the mod's Galaxy folder. (Thanks to SpardaSon21)
