Does that matter? This seems like the fair answer.

You should be able to choose the landing site on the
new planet (at least with some amount of precision --
i.e. this contienent or that island), so you shouldn't
be too close to another player's cities, unless you're
*really* far behind or the other player spread
him/herself too thin.

Not that I expect to see this feature in freeciv for
quite a while. (I'm willing to help out, though)
