Indepedent, Border, and Edge Worlds - Klaw117 - 01-17-2011
After looking at the maps of unmodded and Discovery Freelancer, I noticed a few things that raised the question "What makes a system an Independent, Border, or Edge World?" In unmodded Freelancer, this distinction was fairly easy to make. Independent Worlds had Jump Hole/Gate connections to two Houses, lied between Liberty and another House, and were named after famous explorers or scientists; Border Worlds had only one Jump Hole/Gate connection to a House and were given Greek names; Edge Worlds had no Jump Hole/Gate connections to the Houses and were given Greek names as well.
In Discovery Freelancer, everything seems to have changed. On the map (http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/images/b/bb/Discoverymap.jpg), several systems listed as Independent Worlds and Border Worlds no longer have any Jump Hole/Gate connections to any of the Houses and the naming convention seems to have disappeared. For example, Humboldt, which fits the naming and Jump Hole/Gate connections characteristics of an Independent World is labeled as a Border World. The whole distinction seems to have blurred.
How do the Discovery developers decide on what Independent, Border, and Edge Worlds are?

If a system sits on the borders between two Houses, such as Omega-7 or Omega-3, it is a Borderworld.
If a system sits away from the borders but is not too dangerous, such as Tau-23, it is a Independent World.
If a system sits away from the borders but is far more frontier like and dangerous, such as Omicron Delta, it is an Edge world.

Incorrect.
The Border Worlds form what is basically a ring around the houses, the Taus, Sigmas and Omegas basically. They're called border worlds because they border the Edge Worlds and the houses
Edge worlds are what you said .
Independent worlds are the worlds in between the houses.

So borderworlds are all those systems at the galaxy's edge...
And independent worlds are the ones between houses. And they're all independent like Omega 7 or T31.
Thanks for clearing it up.

See the pattern?

Why the heck is Humboldt a Borderworld? It seems like it should be an Independent World.

Every time I see this map I ask myself the same question.
