we did it.. but its a low %, most of the times you get swarm of cap ships, GB's and fighters even if you alone.

I think Alpha is beautiful in some respects, but I think that Gamma has better placement of heavenly bodies and stations. I, personally don't like how all of Alpha's jumpholes/planets and stations are all grouped so close together. It has a very ... artificial feel to it.

Gamma has a shipyard in the center of a scrapyard in between the jumphole and the planet. I thought I saw someone post about they didn't like to cruise by the shipyard just to get to the planet? That's because it's a better design. In Alpha, you've got all the planets grouped together and the jumpholes to the various Omicron systems grouped together. I feel like I can see the hand of creation just plopping down objects, promising to come back and fix it later but never getting to it. I personally think Alpha needs a little love and space some things out, maybe give a more logical placement of these things.

Also, is there anything in the top-right corner of the map? I've flown through there but never detected anything...

Sigma-19.

Heh, sorry. Omicron Alpha's better.

I "found" Gamma first, but that was while screwing around on a local server, using Ioncross to move myself around. I wanted to see the Arwing.

There's a planet in the Siniestre Cloud up around that area. Now, in the top-left, there's nothing.

Gamma - Alpha

I remember finding Beta in SP-Vanilla & getting murdered by OC & GMG. So I went South & found sluggish Titans were an easier target for my Hammerhead.

I far prefer Alpha and it was my eternal home on every server I played on until I came to Discovery, when I realised that the RP for Junkers was more engaging for me. I prefer the OC ships, their big reach into the underworld & the SP-campaign generated lasting fond memories for me. Aesthetically I also prefer Alpha, but Gamma is not without its merits.

I don't like any pirate systems. I just hate pirates...:P

became a corsair so found gamma first, then on Barracouda I had to make an end-run into alpha for a sabre (which worked with someone simply saying after I got my ship "we need to patrol those jumpholes better") and I think they both are cool in their own way.

Gamma is comfortable, it feels like you are enclosed in a little box labeled "corsairs only". I like the colors, I like green:D

Alpha feels open and full of options, it is almost to the point of making you insecure and feel like you are standing outside the box.

Alpha definately. I found it first and called it home. I remember WAAAYY back when I first got the game. I ran through SP and thought I was in heaven when I bought my first Sabre. Been in love ever since.....
