adding a sector?

[General Scarface]

hi all, bare with me cos im doing this from my ps3.
right what i want to know is if it is possible to add your own sector into the X2 universe that has the story line in it? it would be really cool having a completely empty sector to yourself to set up your own string of factories. if you cant then how about the x2 universe without storyline? thanks.

You can, but you need to create a mod.

Basically, you need a special model of the in-game galaxy map that is able to show the new sector(s). There's one on Baubsmyth's Archive. The sectors are laid out in a grid (rows and columns) without any depth effect. With this map all 300 possible sectors can be shown in the in-game galaxy map.
And of course you need to change the x2_universe.pck. Best use the tools provided by
Doubleshadow.
