Bigger Map as in Bigger :) |
Hi..
i've come to know that for SEV
we have a quadrant and in that quadrant we have solar systems followed by planets...
would it be possible to have multiple quadrants ? so we are sort of like playing in a big big galaxy...
cause from this game i feel like i'm only playing in the "milky way" rather than they universe which has many many galaxy...
apart from that there also comes the trouble or managing it all, but i love big big maps

And add the extra names to the system names text document.
Re: Bigger Map as in Bigger :)
well both of that i know..
i'm playing a big big big map now
wish it could be bigger, i wish there would be some more "advance" civilization with a "unique" tech tree that is non player-playable..
then i could make an alliance and take down the advance civ.. if they are bad
hope maybe in SE 6 there will be a such a feature heheh 
Re: Bigger Map as in Bigger :)
You can mod in such "advanced" races yourself easily enough. No need to wait for SE6.
You can make obscenely large maps in SE5 (much bigger than 255 systems), but I wouldn't really recommend it. Past about 200 or so, the WP line display on the quadrant map starts to break down. The WPs are there, but you don't get any new lines drawn after so many hundreds of them.

hey fyron,
regarding the modding of the new race, what about the ai script ?
is it race dependent ? i mean can i make a specific ai script for only 1 race ?
yeah read a few posts that if there is more then 255 solar systems the lines starts to get "wierd", so the only way for a largar large map is multiple quadrant hehehe
maybe we will have a new wormhole/hyperspace to another quadrant where by if you move through it it will take 4 or 3 turns to reach the other quadrant that would be so so cool..
can we get caption kirk to tell aaron about this so if he is planning se 6 then @ least when my cpu is more powerful in 3 years time we can have that function hehehe

It would be pretty cool if all four quadrants are connected for form a whole galaxy. For instance, at the edges of the quadrant map are special warp points that take you to the other quadrant, and you can conquer a whole quadrant, enter a new one and use all of your resources from your previously conquered quadrant. You would of course, have to defend that quadrant warp point, otherwise you suffer some big penalties.
And then, once you've conquered the galaxy, you research some insane tech, and build a hypergate to another galaxy, conquer that one, build hypergate, conquer that one repeat till your hearts content and somewhere along the line, build a dyson sphere around some of your galaxies, just because you can.
Or, pump lots of mass and energy into the galaxies central black hole to create a pocket universe, and invade that place instead.
Re: Bigger Map as in Bigger :)
Its not possible within the current game engine to have more than one "quadrant" in a game. You can always increase the amount of systems in a quadrant, though. The settings for this are near the top of Data\Settings.txt. Make sure to change both the max systems setting, and the settings that control the ranges used for small, medium and large quadrants.
