It's as much canon as you can expect it to be from a guy who took all kinds of ships from different franchises and made a mod for Freelancer with them.

"This system only exists as a way point on the Jump Gate routes because the distance between Hamburg and Texas was longer than the six-light-year limit of early Jump Gates. Before the Trade Lanes were built, the asteroids caused constant problems with shipping."
Literally taken out of game's files.

Very interesting piece of information there. Thanks for digging that up!
RE: Bring back Omega 11 - Reptile - 06-30-2019
As i know trade lines is like railroad or autobahn and had the speed closer to the speed of light. Ofc ingame time of playing is not similar to the real time life game. But we need calculate this a little. For ingame understanding for players,because most most players is not understanding how many time you are wasting when flying without tradelines. Even if o11 is small for players and you can fly it around in 5 minutes,but in game time it taking at least a 12 hours. Because flying around supermassive red giant is taking alot of time. Sad that most player lost understanding about distance and wasting of resources for trade route with tradelines and jumpgates and without them.

Does the destruction of Omega 11 mean that diamond prices are going to rise Sirius-wide?
Maintaining mining operations in O11 always seemed to be expensive considering the hostile environment and Hessian presence -- and yet it was profitable for Daumann, meaning that there are few other readily exploitable sources around Sirius. Maybe a new traderoute or change of diamonds infocard is in order.

Check out Omega-2, @Strichev

Dunno, there are no established bases there, no jumpgate connection, no tradelanes, it's all very new. It would probably take some time for diamond mining to get back on track and untill then the supply could be decreased, depending on possible Daumann stockpiles.
There is also the question about the stability of jumpholes created and re-arranged by the supernova, it all could change as far as people know in-RP.
Omega 2 does look nice though. Those random small rocks all over the system are a nice touch.
RE: Bring back Omega 11 - Reptile - 07-01-2019
I already said what omega 2 need.
Some rheinland corporation invasion.
And some red giant in the centre.
Anyway,nobody cares about that.

Corporate invasion with mining boost server event. It would get interesting fast with RHA, Daumann, Krüger, IMG, BMM, mercenaries, BHG all in a single system plus random traders.
RE: Bring back Omega 11 - Reptile - 07-02-2019
RHA - yes
Corsairs - yes
Dauman - yes
Kruger - yes
BMM - i dont think so. They even not mining in Cambridge. Almost lost a dublin. Their expansion in Omega 2 will looks like very expensive and dangerous.
IMG - maybe,but on which side? Hunt Rheinland corporations with Hessians? Or be neutral like always. Discovery stupid interesting roleplay where every faction getting all ships what they want - killed relations between IMG and Hessians.Why Hessians need IMG if they(hessians) are can do everything alone. Why IMG need hessians,if they are so powerfull(hessians) and can everything alone. IMG lost their neutral position for now in game of neutral mining corporation which mining and helping some worker movement in Houses. They are not legal in Bretonia and almost not legal in Rheinland. Some part lost bases in Gallic invasion. They are weak,and their expansion against Rheinland in omega 2 - will be a grave for them(like a faction).
Mercenaries - dead. Why you need to hire mercenaries on a fighter,if you will have in enemies Corsair and Hessian BS in Omega 2? What he will do? Cd them? Every new ship in unlawful faction more than gunship or gunboat in game - is a nail in coffin of roleplay server. Or you will hire mercenaries battleship(why not? this is almost going to lolwut server with true rp)
. Where is mercenaries BS?BHG dead too. Because their enemies have much more poweful ships. BHG have much more friends and resources to build some ships by the contract,but their ships is gone to some far faction in far place which is calling Empire of Omicrons. You know,Empire of Easter Island. or Empire of Maldives. You know that interesting roleplay.
At least,we need to bring back few mining fields in one system. Field which is loosing ore in time of mining. And then will come competition between factions for sector and resources(mining zones). Thats why Mollys not mining ore in Dublin. Because there is one field nobody want to have field,which is belonging to noone. At least in Dublin must be 3 mining fields - IMG,BMM,Mollys. And if your BMM field is outta of ore and you will go to Mollys fields - you will have the problems. Thats must be the same in Omega 2. Few fields,which is loosing ore and corporation trying to mine(or capture) in foreign field,which is belong to hessians for example or IMG (oh,IMG still have some property? sounds funny)
So, big red giant and around it 3-4 mining fields with some basic bases.
Big mining field of Daumann and Kruger. (Up Right corner)
Small field of IMG in the left corner.
And medium field of Hessians.
When mining field will be out of ore - miners will look for some ore in other full fields. And then will come faction property. Property will bring talks and roleplay. And hot talks will bring some pew for resources. Like it must be.
And zone of influence in Omega 2 must be added to RM and MND. For cover of expansion of Rheinland corporation. Or we will see how Daumann powerfull corporation which have no cruisers will try to defend from poor and layd-off workers (hessians) on a battleships. Sounds stupid. But we have - what we did.
And gates under building from Stuttgart to Omega 2. And bases under building near mining fields.
