Sector Space Ideas

You know, it has always bugged me that there are no Romulans ANYWHERE in ROMULAN SPACE. They're ALL in Federation Space. Not only is that not right, it's a violation of treaty, an act of war!

Thus, I have a couple of suggestions.

FIrst, move the Romulan patrols into Romulan space.

Second, since we want encounters in Federation Space, we revamp the encounter system. In addition to the wandering DSEs, we add anomalies similar to what's in the Exploration clusters. They would spawn randomly in random locations, and contain random events. Perhaps they could even wander around if appropriate (just spitballing now...).

For example, it might turn out to be an ion storm you have to navigate (kind of like a maze), or a pirate attack. It might be a system to explore (as usual for exploration clusters) or any number of other possibilities.

    I see Romulan ships in Romulan space all the time. Keep in mind that parts of Alpha Centauri Sector are in the Neutral Zone that divides Rom from Fed space. So what you're generally seeing is Roms in the Neutral Zone: there's an agreement with the Empire at this point that both sides can have ships enter the Zone without violating the Treaty.

    I've long wanted more variety in DSE, though. Storms, random missions, Presidents on thrones floating in space. I'll take it all. :)

    Well, the map has been altered in Astrometrics mode, but the area that was green was Romulan space and the area that was blue was Federation space. The thin space between them was the neutral zone (the issue here is the scale of the map...). Either way, I have never seen a romulan ship in the green area, only in the blue.

    That said, the more important and more interesting idea is the improved DSEs (though I could pass on a floating president ;))
