We use English versions of the names, when such versions are available. Besides, the English name for this region is used in other languages as well (like Russian), so "Burgundy" will be more understandable for a larger part of server population.
Quote:As has been said, Gallia is kind of linear. What about something like a connection between Lorraine and Dauphine?
In any case, it looks like there's a lot of interesting bits. Saar and Mackenzie? And is Humboldt disconnected?
Yes, we disconnected Humboldt to bring more life into Mackenzie and provide non-Guard access to Humboldt.
Now about Gallia... this region will have quite a large number of systems (if everything goes as planned). Core systems, including Ile-de-France (not New Paris, that will be the name of the capital planet only), will be included in the next two versions. Other systems might be delayed even longer.
Providing additional paths to Gallia is possible in the future versions, but it should be well-explianed how those paths were not found before by Sirius explorers (two main paths were hidden within mine fields, as we remember). So, those additional paths will not lead to any of the currently existing systems, neither from Gallia nor from Sirius side.
Also, Gallia is meant to be a remote area of space. We only have a schematic map, and cannot display how far this region actually is (same is true about Nomad space). The sleeper ship was on route for 84 years longer than Manhattan one, remember?
Liberty is overcrowded. Yes. If you haven't noticed, it was overcrowded compared to other regions even in Vanilla. It's in the center and surrounded by Independent Worlds. Sure, there's not enough space to place systems far from each other.
Liberty has 3 new systems, and addition of each had important reasons. Ellesmere is the guard system for LSF faction (which now has its own space NPCs). Kansas was added by request of Kansas Discovery server, this system has no bases, just for exploration. Pennsylvania is the new large system, and a new starting location for server and single-player characters (unless you specify something else in the mod options).
Pennsylvania is fully populated and has a number of bases, both lawful and unlawful. It also has one settled planet - Erie, connected with trade lanes to the New York Jump Gate. On the NY side, you will find the gate very near to the place where Magellan gate was located before. Pennsylvania also has jump hole connections to California and Texas.
