Atice... if you can explore every sector of space in an hour... you are awesome.
I meant it would be more of a concerted group effort, but your point is well taken nevertheless.

I'm for it, just not enthusiastically. No worries mate.

It would also be interesting if the ownership of stations had additive effects. Like owning 1 station allows a special mission to build <whatever>, owning 2 lets you do something else in addition, and so on up. So there were some reason to try to conquer and hold all five, but not really a necessity. They would all have to be affiliated with the same key.

Anyway, that's the sort of stuff I'm trying to work towards.

Also, gigantic stations are something I've been trying to do since 2002. I could drop them in now, and no one would be able to play around them. However, fog changed some of that, so I'll be looking at placing super-complex stations in fogged sectors.

However, there are still issues with super-complex sector loadtimes in general, which need to be addressed. Everything is like this.. 17 different dependencies that block one another. But, yes, headed there..

I smell a topological sort!

Jokes aside, very cool ideas Incarnate.
