Fiction Old star old civilization?

First, i am sorry if this thread dont fit here. Tell me where then.
So... I was thinking if the game will sort the civilization randomly at the stars or will aply some logic like put high level of civilization on stars of first generation( 13/11 bilions years old) or second generations (about7/10 billions years old). Or if will be diferences betwin the center of the galaxy and the border?

I doubt it will work that way. The spread of colonisation from Earth is fairly well depicted in Frontier Elite 2, as is the factional division (moving forward into FFE)

If you mean alien civilisation the answer is, we don't know, which is one of the key mysteries of the Elite/Frontier Universe. The alien encounter remains something to explore and investigate, even with the Thargoids who we know something of.

Older civilizations do not necessarily have arisen on older stars, nor would older star systems necessarily mean and older civilization.

Humans are proof that it doesn't take long, relative to geological or cosmic time scales, for civilizations to arise once intelligence is present. Also, Earth has had at least five major mass extinctions in it's history, and without one or more of these, intelligent life may have arisen a billion years earlier, or perhaps never.

There are also bound to be worlds that wouldn't even be habitable until late in their sun's life cycle, for precisely the same reason Earth won't be habitable in about another billion years; stellar luminosity tends to increase as a star ages.

Obviously a civilization cannot be older than it's place of origin, but beyond that almost anything can be plausible.

So... the space around earth(in the milk way region) will be the most crowded region with more civilized planets? or most stlable economies?

The space around Earth will be the only Civilized region. The only known, at least.
Basically, from the previous games and the map here, we can see that as you leave the core worlds, the population and density of populated systems slowly decrease, with a few ''islands'' or bulges, in the old worlds, Achenar, and some solitary large systems like Alkaid. At the fringe there's typically only some small mining colonies, and at the edge of explored space, there might be some really small outpost systems with small mining operations, colonies or mantainance facilities.

I don't think there will be any generated non-human civilizations, so the star age doesn't really matter.

The Thargoids are definately going to be included in Elite: Dangerous - just not in the initial release. The possibility of other civilisations has been hinted at with an artefact found (if I remember correctly) on Mars and the extinction of one sentient species by the Empire (Achenar? Again, I may have this wrong.)
