In the latest release it's limited to spiral. We're currently testing a few other types, they will likely start to be available in the next updated but their "design" might still be rough. We're still working on the types.

Spiral is broken.
....theres no indication that the other "branches" exist or can be gotten to.
And if you play with the filters while zoomed out ,the entire galaxy disappears.Computer really straining here,so could not get a screen of this.
Entire galaxy with filters adjusted so you can see it
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... rbox=false
if you look, you'll notice something important missing... theres no jump lanes from where i am to the new areas on the right.
NEXT -Filters like shroud and fog on ^Where is the path to the other branches/ arms ?

Even when you turn the filters off, so you can see the other branches, they are out of jump range....

Already much improved for the next update (hopefully in the next couple days).
Note that we've also added FTL range improvement techs. To get to all places in the galaxy, players will have to research those techs. We're still balancing some of this. This will need a fair amount of testing over time, every galaxy generation is different.

Re: is spiral the only galaxy type atm ?
We did refactor how galaxies are generated, and cluster is the new default. Cluster, Spiral and Band should be working reasonably well. Branch and Ring still need work.
