I was wondering, on the galaxy mapper you can choose if you want a sector to be 'Active'.

 

Anybody have any idea what this does?

 

Does it have something to do with some planets being randomly colonized?

 

I'm currently working on a 'realistic' RebEd setting... getting rid of those little story imperfections (i.e. dark troopers).

 

Mas,

I am not sure about active setting, but wondered why you consider Darktroopers an imperfection?-Grand Moff Conway

The active setting does exactly, what it says: make a system active (appear) in the game, or not

 

Paul's right, Darktroopers are canon material, Masek.

Yep, you can "shut down" eighteen of your twenty sectors, so you play with two of them. (Limited resources, little distance between the two and you'll have an intense "mini-game".

 

Darks are canon material, but they never really saw much action. (They only lasted one videogame )

With regard to galaxy mapping: what is the meaning of a system's visibility (small/medium/large)?

My guess:

Large: Visible (active) in Large Galaxy games only.

Medium: Visible in Large and Medium Galaxy games

Small: Visible in all games.

That sounds logical but then why would the active setting/view be in RebEd?

To make a system go for good ! Dissapear ! Abra Cadabra...you know ...anyway you can do some interesting mixez of the Galaxy in that RebEd option..I once played a game with only two systems

To make a system go for good ! Dissapear ! Abra Cadabra...you know ...

No, not really...

To make a system go for good ! Dissapear ! Abra Cadabra...you know ...

No, not really...

 

Let me put it this way ..you can play rebellion with only two systems if you want....coruscant and the one for Hoth (PTESB) the rest will not show on the map...

So the easiest way to go about that is by selecting a small universe and then by making all systems but two inactive...

less systems on the map...better AI
