Better map system for X Rebirth please.

[Eternalfreeman]

The map system could use a major revamp for example a color coded system showing what governments control certain system and can change color when a system changes hands.

Also when you start off you have absolutely no references on which direction to go to set goals.

For example in X3 if you start off in Argon space you should have a good map of the Argon territory because for a back story you grew up in the territory.

i get where your coming from... if you grew up in an area you would know the area... thing is merchants would go where the profits are... same with teladi... so how many sectors would they have? it would take a good bit of exploring out the game... especially first play through

[ZSedlacek]

Realistically every ship computer would have had a map of the entire known gate system - maybe stations would be another story but still - how often do you see a world map with just the east coast of America drawn?

I fail to see why having the whole galaxy map revealed at the start of the game would take away from any exploring. Just because you can see the Red Wood Forest on the map doesnt mean you know what the area looks like.

Just knowing the name of a system doesnt mean anything.

I think the map will be decent, probably a 3D map that you can navigate around with the mouse.

You can always use a cheat pack and reveal what you want. Unless your too keen on keeping the non-modified profile.

[Dreadmancer]

Oh man, I love the non-modified profile.

Anywho... We can already buy maps, just they're too few and far between and they don't reveal enough.
I'd be happy if they just gave us more opportunities to purchase star maps for cheaper.
That sounds cool, doesn't it? "star maps" *gets all excited in a space kind of way*

I think not all sectors should be displayed.

Assuming there are still pirate, military and unknown sectors in the game, they should probably be kept hidden, at least until the player flies into the sector in his/her own accord.

[T.S.Zatoichi]

You guys are forgetting that Rebirth is a whole new game. There's probably only going to be a few 'sectors' as we know them.

[Bobucles]

Things you can find on a map:
- Roads
- Highways
- Cities
- States
- Countries

Things you can't find on a map:
- Military bases
- Military fleet actions
- Gang territories and hideouts
- shops with the best prices
- drug dens
