it definitly is mazelike though. running thru a large quadrant briefly, its hard initially trying to pick good routes. the interconnection of all the systems is decieving, since many are impassable to early ships.

I do like the quad, and would not be opposed to seeing a multiplayer game using the mod. my only complaint is the eyestrain.

That can be fixed by replacing the hyperspace bitmaps with something less painful, like the nebulae. When I do the next Version, I'll put the details like the dimensions of the bitmaps in the readme file, so people can make their own images to taste.

[edit]I thought of an easy fix for the eyestrain problem: go into SystemTypes.txt and change the five Hyper#.bmp references to Starmap.bmp . You won't be able to tell the turbulence levels at a glance any more, but hyperspace will still be visibly different from normal systems (because it's got nothing in it but warp points), without sacrificing the nebulae. I'll do this in the "lite" Version.

Cap'n Q
My first mod! Hypermaze quadrant
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I put a mod out recently and recently made some slight changes - it contains sector cloaks, new armor, regenerating engines, fighter missiles, weapon platform mounts have range bonus, seekers move dramatically faster, improved point defense, slightly adjusted hyperoptics to detect cloaked planets/sectors.
The AIs use all of the new components.

Its in the mod achive - if anyone gives it a try - let me know what you think!
