A bunch of questions bothering me.

Is there a limit to the number of colonies a player can have?

How is the distance between systems calculated? Is it constant?
Like this? Distance from 1:1:1 arranged nearest to farthest. 1:2:1 ; 1:4:1 ; 1:5:1. so the longest distance is from 1:1:1 to 1:499:1

I believe the limit is 21 colonies. I don't know the answer to your second question.

Thanks for the info.
Maybe Zorg can answer the 2nd?

He already logged out.XD

There goes distance from galaxy to galaxy first, system to system afterwards and finally planet to planet.

When calculating distance from 1:2:12 to 2:3:4
It is like 20.000 (2-1) = 20,000 for galaxy
2700 + 95 (3-2) = 2795 for system
1000 + 5 * (|12 - 4|) = 1040

The total distance is 23835

You can use this as an example to determine the speed/time over distance function as well. ;)

i have another question
how many sectors/quadrants and how many planetary systems each are there.for example
1:1
the first number is a quad the second is sytems (the number of planets per system is unimportant to me at this time)
another way of putting it is how many Galaxies and how many systems per galaxy ? (again the number of planets each is unimportant)

Thanks for the formulas Zorg.


9 galaxies with 499 systems in each galaxy.
