Sectors in the MMORPG
So there are supposed to be ~100 "core" sectors in the MMORPG version and up to 10,000+ surrounding sectors!
My question is, how on earth are the devs going to provide that much material?
The only way I could see that being possible is if there were some sort of way in which "random" sectors were generated that linked different areas of "known" space. Remember that blurb on the main page that talked about wormholes randomly opening and closing (i.e. how we got stranded here in the first place)? I just bet that the devs are coming up with some way to randomly create sectors with unstable wormholes leading to them. How else could they possibly generate 10,000+ sectors? (I remember reading somewhere that there could concievably be an infinite amount of sectors)
If this is true, this leads to a series of new questions.
Would it be possible for a player to get stranded in some far reach of space?
Will the player base be large enough to make such a huge universe interesting?
Will the artwork [brief shout out to Phil Bedard for the awesome galactic scenery! :)] for these sectors be recycled or will it also be somehow randomly generated?

The devs have a lot of time to add the secotrs before the game hits the shelf, a very large amount of time.
Little off topic i know but, what i see missing right now is when you hit into something metal you don't get that wonderful screeching sound, i want that sound.

i hope the devs never reach that goal of 1000+ sectors. if they did then i would loose what little bit of a life i still have.
