I was hoping for vendetta to use sectors instead of systems.

It will have both, Tilt: "Each system will contain several sectors. There will be many systems."

What incarnate said is that we've been running around in a single "system" so far that is made up of a cluster of sectors. The final game will have many different systems and travel between systems will probably be far different from travel between sectors.

ooo sounds great... /me goes digging through archives (if anyone finds the post would you copy it or it's url?)

How could you be a male Ed? Ed's a girl no two ways about it. A male Ed would just be wrong!

Hmm - this is a big step... Sounds really cool =)

/me really looking forward to see what the devs have come up with for us...

Incarnate (or any other devs if you know the answer)> Seeing as how big you can make the sectors before someone is dropped form the server, do you even plan to have more then one station in a sector at one time? Is there any possibility of capturing sectors? Will sides have growing and expanding empires (not population wise, sector wise), if so will there be certain sectors that all three nations will be fighting to conquer?

[off topic] electric27> To late, they already murdered sector 7 with a big orange planet, canceling out the eire green glow that used to be there. I will hope to see that BG moved somewhere else and have a nice starry one with a cluster of stars much like the earth sky so that it's nice and dark there again. Here's to hoping.

Yes, they said they will have the capability of adding more than one station per sector eventually.

I too would like to see territorial wars over who controls what sectors. But we can only wait and see what further announcements they'll make in the future.

capturable stations/sectors would make clans/guilds useful. Gangs/clans could capture territory and try to hold it.

Territorial wars already sort of happen. I have seen a few duels over control of 14. But there needs to be a way to formalize it. Say that this sector belongs to Gold nation and all Golds get some benefit, like cheaper trade goods, better weapons, free space ships, etc.

that would also create kind of cool "neutral zone" situations, i like that =)

Also would create "safe zones" for traders etc, many sectors/systems behind to nation "front"
