Discovery 4.87 Universe Map

[Diana Dumitrescu]

The LSF is not a faction "local" to the Oita system, so it's not like they're leaving.

Oita still retains the IND and Renzu Headquarters.

The NPCs present in Oita will be: IC, BD, GC, Hogosha - not necessarily in the same areas.

The most informations in wiki are outdated and I wanted to understand what will be the situation with this system. Thanks for the clarification, Echo 7-7. Anyway, it seem that Liberty tends to be separated from Kusari. In 4.86, Oita (considered as a part of Kusari house) theoretical, is still direct connected with 2 Liberty's systems. Basically, in 4.87, the only link between these two houses will be made only through Kepler and Galileo, right!? It is possible, considering that Kusari, if I'm not wrong, will be in good relationships with Gallia, as Liberty, soon or later, eventually to become hostile with Kusari?

A Gate between Colorado and Ontario won't be constructed because it'd have too much of a short-cut effect which oorply draws activity away from NY and inrp means less taxes are gathered from Lane usage (eg. from travelling Kusari -> Liberty -> Bretonia).

I think it makes enough sense that a long term gate project could be established. A targeted completion date of 825 or something. Then it could both be disconnected but also have the logic of the gate being built.

What Gates that should have been constructed (and I've been asking for them for the last one and a half years) are Ontario-Alberta and Texas-Minnesota. I'm not system lead though.

OK, just a personal opinion: Ontario is a relatively large system and is linked with Alberta. In these systems exist now two Ageira bases, right? So... I think that it would be logical an attempt to connect these systems through the construction of some trade lanes in Ontario, probably between California->Ontario JG and Alberta JH. It could result in a more significant presence of players in the Ontario system and as well as a long term gate project for a Colorado->Ontario gate construction site, as Ktayn mentioned above, is not meaningless and perhaps would represent in RP a obvious integration of the Ontario system in the Liberty space. This situation is similar to that of Kusari, where Nagano can be like Alberta and Rishiri, a kind of Ontario. I believe that by facilitating access in Ontario via trade lanes, could result in an increased interest also for Alberta.

But Echo 7-7 is more able to comment about what is good or not to be developed in Ontario, being involved in the Ageira faction. Anyway, I think that none of these changes will not be made in 4.87 and probably, it is a bit pointless discussion. I just tried just to emphasize a way to continue somehow, the role of the Ageira Technologies in this area. I remain at the opinion that a isolation of the Ontario system does not have positive effects.
Thank you.
