Universe Size

[JuryCyber]

Just how big is each map?, i was able to go out more than 60 light years out

The overall size of each play-through varies depending on how many stars you select, etc.
As you can see from your own exploration, they can be quite large!

i went with max stars 2x resources and i got to a point where i was wondering if i can go outside of my universe in any direction but i think it is just endless.

Would be cool to warp 500+ light years to the next person.

Your actually in a cluster of stars, not even close to a galaxy worth, that would be 10's or 100's of thousands, too big for ANY PC ;o) max stars you say, that would be 64? Or did you use Galaxy Size mod to change it ?

Co-ordinate X and Y are capped at +240,000,000 and -480,000,000 and Z is -240,000,000 to +480,000,000 and these seem to be meters.

So the game area is 720,000,000mx720,000,000mx720,000,000m

Which is 300lyx300lyx300ly so around 420ly corner to corner

Note this is the in game scaled ly which is much smaller than a real ly

27,000,000 cubic light years in volume, you got your work cut out for yourself!

No mods, i just wanted to wonder outside of my star cluster

420 light years, lol woooooow. Like dude, i seriously think we are going to see a lot more content than expected. Even with combat being added, you have to wonder how will they fill in the rest of the space.

-- two more star clusters
-- planets spread far more apart
-- ?????
-- ?????
-- ?????

The local star cluster is a giant box with your home system at the center. If you happen to hit the wall of that box while in warp, you'll stay in warp with no indication anything has happened, you just won't move forward anymore. At one point, as I understand it, you'd just drop out of warp when you hit it, but I never experienced that myself - so take that particular bit of info with a grain of salt.
