Captains! We're all super excited to finally see the walls come down and let you guys fly around the Alpha, Beta and Delta Quadrants uninhibited.

Learn more about it here.

    Um. Devs? Since when is the Iconian Gateway in the Japori System? Did it shift locations while we were asleep?
    Did someone try to tractor beam it away?
    It's in the Jouret system. At least it's supposed to be.
    You might want to fix that. Just sayin'.

    RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.

    The addition of Tellar, Trill and Betazed is awesome
    Your pain runs deep.
    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    very nice , but before taking down these barriers , i'd like to fly my fleet version of Scryer , its about time ??? Before doing other revamps... don't get me wrong ill love for sure the new galaxy , and the Andromeda , that you will add later, but ... intel ships need their fleet version to justify the money spent on them.

    Well, the sector map revamp looks very nice, the amount of moved systems is crazy though. :D
    Looking forward to the moment this change lands on Tribble server.

    No. That's not what they said. Read it again.
    The Delta Quadrant will still be accessible via the same method as before, by using the Gateway in the Japori System.

    They did say system. I'm not just imagining it. I'm not going crazy yet. I know what I saw.
    Here's a screenshot of that too, as absolute proof that I'm right.
    As you can clearly see, the almighty Cryptic screwed up. I do have pretty good eyes, I have four of them in fact.

    If you're going to correct me, at least make sure you can prove me wrong.

    At the very least, the sector travel will have an "astrometrics" feel to it even when it is switched off.. I can't wait for this! Nice job, Taco and Ander!

    ...WoW....


    that's about all I can say
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    That's a mistake on my part. I'm sorry, there are over 300 systems to keep track of, and I mistook one 'J' system for another 'J' system that is very nearby.

    The Dyson Gateway is in the Jouret System, as before.

    I'm going to miss those big 'roads' (the big coloured ribbon type things in astrometrics). I always pictured them as showing "trade routes" heading to and from big hubs where most civilian traffic and activity would be.
    Perhaps they could have been retained as route markers, with a small speed buff for those who kept to them, but oh well.

    My concern is the same one I had before; that these maps will have either huge issues with lag due to the thing being one massive map with few instances, or it will have a huge number of instances with a population so low that it feels like a ghost town rather than a civilization.

    I am...cautiously optimistic.

    Oh good, so the Ferengi didn't try to steal it.
    (Great idea for a Foundry mission though)

    Okay, so I'm usually one to criticize cryptic for one reason or another, but on this occasion, I'll make an exception. The Sector Space revamp looks to be a fine piece of work. I am curious though, obviously the current sectors have a lovely faction icon worked into them (the playable, and the main NPC's (Breen, Cardassian etc).

    I am curious whether other icons are going to appear, say for the Tholian Assembly, Talarian Republic and Tzenkethi Coalition?

    Iconia is one of a few systems that (according to the Star Charts) lie just outside the playable space of STO. We pulled it, and those other systems in to the playable sectors, but put them as close to their rightful homes as we could. Iconia should be one sector further to the right.

    However, the neutral zone basically doesn't exist anymore, and territories have shifted.

    I always thought the "roads" should be how you "set a course" and just have the ship fly from A to B, safely, and the area between should be for manual navigation, bringing back the old Enemy encounters if *and only if* you chose not to let the ship fly a (longer, less direct) course through safe shipping lanes and instead manually directed yourself into the black.

    Ah well.

    I'm liking where Season 10 seems to be going. Hoping for lots of QoL stuff :)

    By the way, a question. We're since getting Trill, Tellar and Betazed, are we gonna see Nausicaa, Gornar or Ter'jas Mor?

    If you click on the maps in the blog, you'll get some gifs that explain how things moved around. Gamma Orionis and Pelia filled up the upper right corner of the Beta Quadrant.
