RE: Discovery 4.87 Universe Map - Narcotic - 07-15-2013
I remember seeing this map before already.
However, I hope that most systems get downsized?
Especially in the Omicrons, since there are no lanes which makes it almost impossible to find player interaction. Also dislike the Omicron Rho (BHG Core system?) which obviously serves as puffer system to Iota.
Anyways, as said - if the number of systems won't get decreased, do at least decrease the system's size (or ranges between the important traffic routes/bases).
Also kinda disappointed that the Outcasts get even more seperated from their archenemies (IMG/Corsairs).
Oh and Cassini being connected to Albama. Will they both stay guard systems? If yes - that might be a strange new warfront between Xenos and Rogues.

1 )
gallia does not look much smaller than now - not sure how much its really reduced in size
2 )
about outcasts, corsairs - it is hard to get what the players WANT
on one hand they state that they are not even in a state of war anymore - and that its almost cold war. - then they wish to fight each other easily - but they absolutely hate it when the other side makes it to their homesystem.
maybe the two factions can make a manifest about what they really want - they want to be REAL enemies that shoot each other not only on sight - but also seek each other out. - or cold war state where they just fling insults at one another - or maybe they wanne get closer to bless the world with their hispanic ways in brotherly harmony?

So wait, we have ot go through Xeno Guard space (Alabama) to get to a Freeport (Yukon)? Or are there unannounced changes in those systems?

Heh, no more theta-17 shortcut.
RE: Discovery 4.87 Universe Map - Alvin - 07-15-2013
I'm pretty much thinking the same thing as what narcotic said about the system numbers, sizes and omicron
RE: Discovery 4.87 Universe Map - Benjamin - 07-15-2013
much too negative so I should post it under my own name at least
some moaning:
Omicron Lambda being shoehorned in to 17-Theta
Omicron 81 being shoehorned in to Alpha-37
T29-Baffin-Coronado-Cortez still existing
So, so many systems in general
on the plus side:
gallia is easier to get to
i guess there could be even more systems
much talk made of lots of systems being turned in to dead-ends etc - guess this is all in places I never visit, everywhere I go seems either the same or even more broken up ;(
apols for my tone to dudes who have sunk much thankless hours in to this, i only speak out of love for disco

I noticed that the links from Hamburg to Bering and Hudson are marked as Jumphole links. Is this an oversight, or a hint of things to come? (the gates being disabled/destroyed by one side or the other, perhaps?)
RE: Discovery 4.87 Universe Map - Omicron - 07-15-2013
Why is BHG guard becoming buffer for Iota instead of simply linking it to Zeta as it was supposed to be?

Quote:Omicron 81 being shoehorned in to Alpha-37You don't see New York connecting right to Magellan, do you?
Quote:T29-Baffin-Coronado-Cortez still existingPretty much the most important smuggling route. The economic rebalance if that route didn't exist would be insane.

I would not put it past Liberty to blow the gates up. I don't think Rheinland has the resources to do that kind of thing anymore, having now lost several wars in a row.

Nice map! Changes are good to brake monotonity! Lot of shortcut JHs got removed (like Camb-Leeds, S13-NB , Frank-Hamb) How about California-Texas JH? Is it still there or just through Penny? (the graphics doesn't tell)
