Rather the edit my previous announcement I decided to post a new one so everyone can get it. One of the biggest and best changes coming will be location map types. Previously there was only 1 map type but that is changing my friends! On top right of the space screen will be a new gui area. It will show several different map types. Players will be able to choose the sector type they want to jump to provided they have that at least 1 of that map type in their inventory. For example, if you are running low on food & water you can set your course to a service sector. A service sector will contain service stations such as docks or shipyards. This allows players to purchase much needed provisions.
Space stations and outposts will contain a kiosk or store that will allow players to buy and/or sell location map types. Some ships may give out these maps as well. In addition, boarding a ship will also give players a chance to find maps in lockers. These are just some of the ways to aquire these maps there will be others.
In the end this will be a great improvement to the game and it will allow players to venture much further through each journey.
I don't think this will be ready for the next update which i am planning on releasing the end of this coming weekend. I am going to aim for the weekend after if all goes as planned. Is this all? No there is even more! Going a bit further after the location map update i will be focusing on the ship com link screen. Adding characters for each race and setting up improved options for talking and negotiating with ship captains. Ok now is this it? No there is even more! Although its too early to mention any of it at the moment. So there we have it, stick around because some good stuff is certainly coming! Cheers!
