Official link : Sector Space Revamp
Fri 27 Feb 2015 02:00:00 PM PST
Devs announced they rearranged everything to fix stars and systems to StarTrek's cannon maps, as was Star Trek: Star Charts by Geoffrey Mandel for example, between other sources, Memory Alpha, etc.
All this new suff is running in Tribble server, case anyone wish to give it a try right now.
Since most of the old stuff remains, position/location and "size" change a lot, specialy about scale.
Space was divided in 3 maps, Alpha, Beta and Delta (method to jump into Delta quadrant remains).
Everything, or almost, will be moved to their canon quadrant and sector.
The grid will shows light years. Each major line is 1 light year from the last. Each sector is 20 light years across (as per canon, and the Star Charts book).
Doffing system remains as used to be, but Tour of the Galaxy was changed.
Transwarp is changed and i still dont get it well, so i'l tell once i try this new stuff.
Our diplomacy/marauding point to point transwarp remains.
