Sector I haven't heard of

[fcth]

Was watching the X4 section of the 30th anniversary stream, and saw this:


Some oldies in there, but Photon Sphere is a new one to me. Sounds like a fun place. I don't think we had The Void either, though we did have Preacher's Void and Void of Opportunity, and to be honest, voids are just less interesting than spheres.

[Tomonor]

The universe is restructured. Don't be surprised to see new cluster names. For example, Argon Prime is now neighbouring a system called Second Contact, which makes sense since Home of Light is now neighbouring Maelstrom.

[Vandragorax]

Photon Sphere does indeed sound very interesting!

Doesn't sound as much fun as Power Circle did.

Spheres are one dimension more fun than circles, and I'd say photons sound a little more fun than power? Power just seems kind of stodgy.

I'm wondering if it might be something like a dyson sphere?

That would be cool, but I'd guess it is more likely black hole related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere

Or it's just a random name.

Waas thinking the same thing, but it is the Home of the NEW PHQ???

Pretty sure there are several locations to chose for the PHQ at this point from the mission text saying "find a suitable wreck or abandoned station for your home".

Pretty sure The Void used to be in there. Couldn't tell you where though. I'm thinking Teladi space.

Nope, that was The Vault. Weren't any "The Void"s in AP.

[Lord Dakier]

Hmmm... possibly in XRM mod then.

I recall a Teladi "Void of Opportunity", but maybe that was from a mod. Not sure if I ever saw only "The Void".

[radcapricorn]

There was a "Void of Opportunity" indeed. Good lord guys, did all online X3 maps just suddenly disappear off the Internet?

[Tenlar Scarflame]

There was also Preacher's Void.

[birdtable]

Then there was a Preachers Refuge ...

[spankahontis]

Hangs-a-boot!!!

I'm SURE the Void was advertised for X:Rebirth? But it never materialised.
