I figure the Sigmas are named using prime numbers, but how are the other systems named?

As in the numbers? Um...lets see

Omegas: 3 5 7 11 15 41 47 49 50 52 54 55 56 58

Omicrons: 64 74 80 81 82 85 90 91 92 93 94 96 99 100

Taus: 23 29 31 37 39 42 44 45 63 65

Who wants to play with sequential formulas?! I honestly haven't got a clue looking at the numbers. Might just be so certain groups of ten (i.e. the 20s or 90s) are devoted to certain systems?

In the vanilla game, the Taus, Sigmas and Omegas all were named with prime numbers:

Tau - 23, 29, 31, 37
Sigma - 13, 17, 19
Omega - 3, 5, 11, 41

The original Omicrons didn't have numbering, only greek letters. Now with all the added edgeworld systems, I don't think there's any particular pattern.

i remember reading in some disco dev forum thread that people adding new border worlds should not spoil the existing pattern of the numbers, so there must be something else now.

I don't particularily see a specific pattern, but I do think the Omicrons numbers are pretty high, around 80 and 90s.

Choose an unused number, stick it on the end?

I, honestly, cannot see any pattern to the new systems. For the Taus, Sigmas and Omegas, Omega-47 is one of the only new systems that follows the vanilla naming conventions. As for the Omicrons.... I have no idea what the hell's going on there. Half numbers, half Greek letters.

The numbers are totally random. There are Sigmas 1-12, 14-16, 18 and 20+ but no jump holes have been found to those systems.

then why didnt we add a "new" set of borderworlds like Uplison-45 or Rho-92 instead of spoiling the pattern?

I like that idea.

Fresh.

Nice one.
