Do you mean Theta, or do you mean Gamma? Because Alpha's the one everybody else was talking about, and that's the Outcast home system, and Gamma's the Corsairs home system. Theta is their 'border system' connected to Alpha.
Unless I'm way off... *looks at FL DataStorm* ... nope, I'm not way off.

Dab... you can go for Omicron-80, the only free one...

' Wrote:Its going to be big, yes Igiss, but it will be high-density. Granted, there will still be 50-60K between planets at least, but there will be bases and objects between and around them. So it won't just be a system that was made way to big.
To Nightfall; I'd do it for an Omicron Around Omicron Theta, but the only one there is is Omicron-74, the Zoner Gaurd. Until Igiss adds another empty system around Theta, I can't make it there. Since its a Zoner/Outcast system, if I can't put it next to Zoners, I'll put it nearby, and next to Outcasts.
Mine biggest system ill make will be called Xi-79(you can tell I like the greek letter Xi) and it is 2000x2000 K. Fortunantly the order Build some Hyperion Warp Generators around to save you time, since it'll take like, 400 K to cross the black hole that is the decaying sun, but it is very full. now just hope that not too many people will be exploring yours or mine, Dab. or things can get laggy...
Note Ill try to also do the corsair guard and the Order guards if they are free.

Yeah, your way off. Omicron Theta is the main home of the Zoners, and their headquarters. With their biggest and most well-known base, Freeport 9. As well as the added Corfu station. And if you read certain infocards, there is a Zoner Juggernaut there as well. Corsairs are kept in-check in Theta by the Zoners, as are the BHG. Its not simply the system connecting Gamma to Alpha.

Thought it was 82, but whatever. Haven't started it yet anyway.

I'm sorry to say that, but it just sounds crazy. 2000K. Hyperion warp generators. Do you know that Freelancer doesn't display any objects on more than 150K distance?
P.S. I'm serious, and that applies to everyone... I appreciate the time you are spending on creating those systems, but after submitting you fully agree to the conditions posted here:

No guarantees, and right for me to change anything I find suitable to change. This is not because I'm bad, but rather due to the fact that Discovery is based on vanilla FL standards and conventions. I've spent weeks to tweak Angel's systems before including them into Discovery. And still many people have complaints about those systems. I'm not saying that you shouldn't submit anything. I just want to make sure that you won't submit something that will take more time to fix than to rebuild from scratch in Freelancer Explorer.
Adding Edge World systems with NY-like object density, very big size, large stations like Newark, trade lanes, multiple populated planets, numerous weapon platforms and Lane Hacker Spyglass (read the infocard. this ship is meant to be unique) is not the best you can do. Check original Border Worlds/Edge Worlds, Omicron Delta. Do something alike, or do better.

Xi-79 accually is definantly too big. Ill make it smalled down to 200K. Dab,your big system may also need a change.
Oh, but Igiss, I have my own music for the system, will that be okay?
