We've added Tellar, Trill, Betazed, and a few other key systems to these new sectors. These systems can be used for future content, and they have had doors added to them for use with the Foundry.

    Yup! At the bottom of the article...
    We’ve updated the Foundry to have all doors in Alpha, Beta, and Delta quadrants

    I am sooo excited for this update as both a Foundry author and a player. :D

    Not to mention, it sounds like Klingon Foundry missions will finally escape their tiny little box.

    Quoting Taco from the news thread for those who haven't been following along.
    The idea is that ALL of the doors in sector space should be usable for the foundry now. The doors are on planets (not systems) where there is a planet. So yes.
    Now, we're only human and may have made a mistake or two, but the idea is they should ALL be available now.

    Interesting that it's planet based. Can't wait to see it in action.

    Yeah so instead of directing people to the Regulus System, we might be directing them to Regulus III or whatever the planet is that serves as a door there.

    What I see so far of Cardassia's sphere of influence looks generally correct, though of course it's hard to see where the political borders of the Union really run. I hope instancing and server load will be OK though, because as the Omega game has shown, the system appears to be under enormous stress.

    Presumably we'd have multiple options for places with planets...

    The landmarks on the overhead map, as well as the long distance markers in space will both still show the System name. However, as you approach the system, the door over the planet should become apparent. When you actually to to do a mission, you fly to the planet in the system, not the center of the system/star.

    Edit: and as far as I know, everything we put in should be available to both factions, but I guess we won't know till someone tries it.

    WOOT!

    All systems open as doors - this is fantastic news! And the new Galaxy looks great. Being the map nerd I am, I'm happy to see the improvements. The scaling with individual planets is especially amazing. Oh, the stuff we're gonna be able to do now...Yay!

    I'm also glad that the Romulan Neutral Zone has been removed. It solves a lot of pesky problems both politically and physically (like locating Nimbus and Iconia in it). However it would be nice to update the Path to 2409 (or some other in-game source) to state this officially.

    Many thanks Taco and team for the fabulous work!

    I was hoping this woud be the update that they might at least put the Cait system in. I became sad when the truth was learned.

    According to Star Charts, Cait (15 Lyncis) is off the map. It's well rimward of the current sectors, almost past Tholian space.

    Also note where the Mutara Nebula is supposed to be on that chart.
    How did Kirk get down there in the Ent A when the Ent D spent all of it's time exploring the far reaches of the galaxy . . . much closer to home?

    kirk supposedly made it to the center of the galaxy too, that trip would have been as long as voyager's, wile at the time they also had deeply inferior warp drive to work with.

    Let's just say Hollywood types don't put much thought into accuracy. :P

    Sure would have been nice if someone had created a Star Trek map 'bible' for the franchise, like the kind they use for the characters on the show/movies that writers have to adhere to.

    As for the inconsistencies (like Mutara, etc.), I just put the blame on the people who made the 'unofficial' maps. They should have gone by what was said in the movies and episodes and put a little logic behind the placement of locations. It seems they went more with what 'looked' good on a map as opposed to HOW places related to one another in canon.

    My best example of this is Nimbus. It clearly states it is in the Neutral Zone. It has three governing powers - Federation, Klingon, Romulan. It is called the planet of galactic peace. Logically one would assume it would have been located close to the nexus of all three governments borders from this inferred information. But not according to the 'soft-canon' maps..... Just look at its location - - Why the heck is it located so far away from Klingon space? Was anyone who was making these maps paying attention to HOW it was being portrayed on screen? :rolleyes:

    This is the same reason there is such a big mess over the Alpha/Beta Quadrants. (Earth (and most 'known' races) clearly should have been in the Alpha Quadrant from HOW the material was presented).

    Ah, well. Someday, when I'm king of the universe, I'll make sure to correct these little oversights...:P

    Well, frankly TOS was never one to care much about those kinds of details anyway, and to hear DS9 tell it the Alpha Quadrant must've looked like a pie chart with B'hava'el at the center.

    Geoff Mandel did his best with what he had.

    Typical trek shenanigans; there was a video around that showed that the original Enterprise traveled at velocities that would've made Voyager's trip back to the Alpha Quadrant take only a few weeks or so. Which was fine back then when there weren't any other series to mess things up. :D

    In DS9, and even Voyager, the writers seemed to simply use "Alpha Quadrant" as shorthand for the entire zone of space established in TOS/TNG, so the Feds, Klingon and Romulan Empires all got lumped in with the Cardassians as part of the Alpha Quadrant.

    Distance is a huge Star Trek discrepancy, which I'm sure you know. In TOS the 1701 goes out past the galactic rim, and the 1701 A goes to the galactic core, so in a matter of a couple of decades, he traveled, with a slower warp drive, much further then Voyager's supposed 70 year journey would have been had they not taken some shortcuts.

    A lot of the concepts of warp speeds were "re-imagined" when TNG rolled around. But despite what some fans might think, Star Trek canon has never been the model of consistency.

    Worst was when the ship got hijacked by those people from Andromeda. They rewired the engines to be fast enough to get to Andromeda in around the amount of time Janeway said it'd take Voyager to get back to earth.

    I like how Star Trek: Starfleet Academy handled it. The Federation spread out further "south" as a result of klingon expansion in the 23rd Century. By the end of it, they had done a lot of settling on the Galactic Rim, far from the Federation core worlds, leaving the planets underdefended and ripe for pirating.

    I still remember that the first time I saw the episode "where no man has gone before" I just assume that enterprise had flown "up" or "down" to the part of the rim that was only ~4,000 light years away.

    It was years before I heard people complaining about how far the rim is and I realized everyone else assumed horizontal movment. and given the trip to the core (27k light years from Sol) i realized that horizontal was likely what the writers probably intended.
