The Benthis Collective Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Russ and Pete I was just wondering if it might be possible to tweek the Explore code to allow for a higher frequency of finding Warp Maps. I have heard other players say that have made these types of finds. This might speed up contact. Just a thought. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfe99 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I like this idea. But I like my goodies too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boo Consulate Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 This would be even better if there were a way to limit the maps to neutral (i.e. no Home Systems) territories, that way no one would feel like they were being compromised.

hobknob Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I have found a 1/2 dozen of the useless things so decreasing the frequency would be my recommendation. They aren't of any value without some locational reference. With the likelyhood of 10's of 1000's of stars out there having specific info on a couple wouldn't have any effect one way or the other. Finding a Mk VI JSS, now that would make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Elder 'Keen Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Are these WP discoveries based on distance, or totally random? I was quite shocked to get a WP revealed that was actually in one of my systems. But a second one was totally foriegn, at least for the moment. If the WP could be within 10 jumps of the exploration site I think that would be very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I had one that helped a nasty warp point in one of my central systems. The other four or five I've received seem random.....but I'm happy to have them nonetheless. Another thing I noticed -- they are INSTALLATION specific.... Perhaps an advancement down the line will help us knock down warp points from the comfort of our own living rooms? One could only dream...and that would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWillard Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm with hobknob on this one, especially if they are installation specific. No tweaking necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 If there are many of these star chart finds that are actually in your own known space then it would seem that it isn't a completely random event. I suppose that may be good, however the few that I have found (less than a dozen) just indicate a bunch of star names that I have never heard of or seen before.

RTGPete Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Actually, they're not completely random...you can get them in your area of space, or it is possible for them to be a seemingly random warp connection, but they aren't chosen out of the blue.

EternusIV Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Makes sense Cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuth Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Very nice. I bet they're within 5-8 systems of your homeworld, or the Fleet that did the EXPL order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 That makes that G survey that I found pretty valuable then. Just need to find the systems it belongs to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
