a new planet with atmosphere and plants

it exists at -404 21 2302 if anyone is interested. I found it by asking for information from an npc

Best way yet of exploring the final frontier.

I just received a hint for a place at -20190 10470 -12800 if anyone wants to check it out i dont think i'll be going there for a while

Those are sector coordinates?

Nesrearck · Post by **Nesrearck** » Mon Nov 18, 2013 8:04 pm

yes x,y,z

Post by **Marvin** » Mon Nov 18, 2013 8:13 pm

I hope you mean SX, SY and SZ ... 'cause I'm gonna head out that way. With or without G1 (which, at the moment, won't let me log on ... SNAFU).

yes sectors sorry for not being specific

No problem. Thanks. I'm already en route. Shouldn't take more than another ... 484 minutes ... give or take.

another planet at sx -2177 sy -12 sz -144 it has a prebuilt station above it

I have three more hours to go ... gonna take a break 'till morning. This far from home, I don't want to run out of fuel while napping.

Post by **Marvin** » Tue Nov 19, 2013 9:03 pm

Nothing there! Except a few stray ships. I deployed sensor arrays without any luck. Oddly, I built a trade station about 15 minutes east of destination ... but can't build any more stations either at the site or in a sector near by. So, it looks like I'll need to back track to the last station I built and swap my military ship for a civvy craft. Then hire a science officer ... maybe he can help in the search.

Disregard. I'm at the wrong spot. Luckily I have plenty of credits ... enough for five more trade stations along the way.

A tip for the less affluent: If your only need on long journeys is refuelling, take a Deploy Constructor as well (or instead of) a Build Constructor. Deploying a fuel station is much cheaper than building a trade station, though refuelling isn't instant - it takes the same time as flying time between refuels . . . errr . . . 45 mins flying needs 45 mins to refuel! The other downside is that Deploy stations (of all types) self destruct when you leave the sector so you will have to re-deplay on your way home

One final point though is that a Build Constructor don't work more than 20 000 sectors or so away from Sapphire

I'm testing that today. Currently skirting the edge of the "build" zone to maintain my ability to build trade stations.

Finally arrived at the correct coordinates. Nothing there. Leastwise, nothing you can detect with a sensor array. Will need to find a science officer.

Is there a limit also for fuel station deploy?

I remember seeing something about that out in Vonariland or Andromeda???

Hi all, I'm a new trader\\miner and Explorer in the evoverse.
I just discovered some uncharted planets, (A sistem with at least 4 planets, maybe I've lost some) I posted the coords in the junholt's map site, if anyone is interested.

sorry, mistake.
I found this planets by myself, but they had been already visited

perhaps nothing gets generated beyond a certain point even though there would be something there

Capt_Caveman · Post by **Capt_Caveman** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 8:58 pm

pre expansion there was a limit to how far out you could build a station but refuel and repair stations had no limits. I believe this still holds true.

Post by **Marvin** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:08 pm

Cronic is probably correct. I'm at the coordinates listed above (the far, far away set) and, 'though I can't build, I can still deploy. The Nav Map says I'm in Andromeda.

There is only a limit for Build Constructors. Deploy Constructors work anywhere (I've used on at 250 000 sectors out!) so you can explore as far out as you want - Fuel Stations are slow though - one minute refuelling for each minute flying!

EDIT: I read in a thread a long time ago that Vice introduced the build distance limit during a major upgrade or a new 'chapter' of the game - can't remember which - to allow something else to be coded in. Not sure whether it was a clash or to keep the code size down.

I'm there as well, though on SP so I don't drop connection every 20 minutes

Andromeda space and apart from stars not a thing to see! Did you get a Science Officer Marvin -if so did she find anything?

10 hours flying + half a billion on stations (50 million a pop

) + enough fuel burned to influence global warming if I'd stayed at home . . . and it's lonely out here

It's just beyond the Build Constructor range for me as well.

Still it's been fun to do some deep space stuff again

I found some uncharted sistems. Not too far away from main trade routes.
Posted in Junholt map site.

there's a coordinate a NPC gave me, very far away from where i am now, if anyone would like to explore it:
3629 10 -1278
