Watched video 5 and am really excited to start playing when you release the beta.

While watching the video part about picking the different sector locations and there types I thought why not add another sector type a rare type that only shows up in say 1 out of every 100 sectors. You don't have to add an icon description like you do with the other three maybe have a tip box talk about it while playing or something.

Essentially the sector is a white circle with a ? in the middle of it and the description is that it is an unexplored sector.

The sector is randomly generated bits from all sector types more so than any other sector. It has very good loot and resources but also it is very dangerous more so than any other sector, so its a gamble to use.

Good points:
Adds the element of the unknown to picking that sector.
Adds more of a challenge during play and the rewards for surviving it.(the rewards are not to high that after getting through it that the rest of that game run is ruined)

Bad Points:
Can add confusion to sector jumping if you do not know about it in the first place.
To hard or to many rewards can spoil the rest of that run making people either avoid the sector or run to it quickly.

Well? Something you might like to find in game?

Well, this problem generally occurs due to the graphics compatibility problem with the OS...

What?

Agreed with Warbird... what?

But on the idea, yes. A... variation on your suggestion was intended. I won't go into it in too much detail since it's still under discussion but there will be a number of sector types in a "unknown" category. This includes places where contact has been cut as well as uncharted territory that may be under the control of an alien race.
One idea we had was to have all the nodes (jump locations) in these sectors be hidden from the player so that you can only see the locations you can/have jumped to. Haven't tried it yet so it could suck, but it could be interesting.

I think that post was for a different topic, anyhow if you have any ideas you would like to try out that's what the beta testers like me are for we will tell if you its any good or not lol

Hope it starts soon getting the shakes from not playing the game since the demo lol
