' Wrote:JHs between Chugoku/S13/New Berlin won't be removed (otherwise, the Magellan nightmare that lasts for years since Discovery first release will never end). They will be relocated though.
Would you mind explaining this "Magellan nightmare"? I'm not sure how removing or redirecting the jumpholes would be so bad, we all hate them (save the powertraders and people likely to F1). If I recall correctly, the Magellan gate now points to Pennsylvania, right? In the same manner, Chugoku-Sigma 13 could become Chugoku-Sigma 19 (or 17, I mean the one with Gas Miner Ogashawa, that has JH to Beta) and Sigma-13 - NB could become NB to Frankfurt (moving the NB side to the other side of Planet New Berlin, perhaps).
That's reminds me, there's going to be a JH from NB to Frankfurt, right? It's the only vanilla populated core system link that doesn't have a JH to match if I recall correctly (except perhaps Manchester/New London, I can never remember if there's a jumphole there) and JH travel in Rheinland is exceedingly annoying. Liberty doesn't have this problem because of the dead system links and the proximity of story jumpholes, Kusari doesn't have it simply by having links between all the core systems, and Bretonia has easily the best JH network of anywhere... yet Rheinland has this weird array that goes between impossibly convenient and exceedingly annoying on a daily basis. Please?
Oh, and I sort of thought that O-74 is getting de-guardified. At any rate, it doesn't seem to have any NPCs, and the Asgard Warriors don't exactly exist anymore, so no one would stop you going through it by force or guilt. If it gets NPCs then it should certainly get de-guardified or there should be a magical jumphole from Omega-56 to above the Lost Battlestar or something so that the BHG can finally get to Delta without political disturbances.
