Understanding the 'map'

[RJS]

Is the m-key map all there is? I hear about different galaxies, go here, go there, go towards the center, away from the center, but it's all gibberish when I look at the map.
There's no way to tell 'direction', or up or down or side or towards center, or galaxies or borders or anything. And what controls there are are so janky.
All this fancy AI tech the player has, but we get the POV of a guppy in the ocean trying to look at the universe map and discern any useful info from it?

Did you see my message above??? Please use spoiler text for spoilers :P

looking at the timing I'd say you posted while I was writing, so no I didn't see your post, as to spoilers, check my post history, I tend to be more cryptic.

However, having had a run where using blackholes was, less that optimal shall we say, particularly due to how the game deals with radius calculations when closer to the centre , your milage will very literally vary. So I disagree in this case - rather than a spoiler it's a handy thing to know.

Either you took a very long time to write that post or you are referring to the wrong post... text was quoted in the one from a few mins before yours, but the original post was earlier than that :P
I disagree, imo it is a spoiler, albeit a very mild spoiler... no harm though. I doubt anyone cares...

so question... cos i never had the problem of not being able to understand the galaxy map.... does that mean i'm special?

una region tiene entre 1 y 600 sistemas
los glifos de portal son para ir a la region, el sitema y el planeta
todos los sistemas de la region del centro estan en un rdio de entre 3000 y 3500

Portal Hex: 113B0000A000
Galactic Coordinate: 07FF:007F:0809:013B
X-Y-Z: 0,0,10
System Index: 315
Planet Index: 1

sin embargo no es el punto mas cercano

Portal Hex: 114502008FFF
Galactic Coordinate: 07FE:0081:0807:0145
X-Y-Z: -1,2,8
System Index: 325
Planet Index: 1

dependiendo de las galaxias puede que la region central no llegue a los 200 sistemas y solo hay que cambiar por ejemplo al sistema 75

I presume you are using mods to make use of these coordinate systems...
I don't use mods...

I'm just gonna clear this up the hexadecimal coordinates result in Planet Index (the stuff everyone knows) Solar System Index (the stuff that's a bit more complicated) Then XYZ Coordinates (the very complicated stuff)

Yeah, I understood the concept, just never had any idea how to convert the coordinates to in-game locations... I figured it was using mods to see behind the curtain a little... now I see all the values relate to the portal glyphs

Thank you both for helping clear that up for me :)

There's only 8 directions inwards, outwards, up, down, south, east, north, west.

wie machst du das eigentlich? verstehst du englisch und willst nur nicht auf englisch schreiben? kopierst du alles in einen übersetzer? ist das nicht total umständlich? also mir spuckt google übersetzer nicht wirklich sinnvolle sätze aus, wenn ich deine beiträge dahin kopiere. aber naja, du weißt schon was du tust.

je, hace un año que cambio lo de las 3 estrellas para encontrar las mejores naves, ahora es en funcion de la raza y el tipo de economia, si ves un sistema vy'keen y mineria lo mas probable es que tenga transbordadores

(but it's most likely fighters...)

here I will: I use the grammatical rules of Spanish so that the translator does not make mistakes. Today I am only able to read and translate it

You kinda have to know the structures of both languages to get reasonably accurate outputs from Google translate. And even then you have to stick to simple sentences or it gets confused...
But I for one am thankful it isn't very good at translating or I'd be out of a job XD

No, afortundamente tu trabajo no peligra, el ingles se traduce en mi cabeza, y procuro respetar las reglas gramaticales de mi idioma, para que cada palabra que coloco, este en su sitio justo, tuve un profesor de ingles que siempre nos ponia el mismo ejemplo curso tras curso, he tenido un pinchazo, pero si lo pronunciabas mal, decias tengo una cabra

Oh, I'm not the least bit worried...
hmm, was that the phrase your teacher used? you would need very poor pronunciation to get "I have a flat tire" to sound like "I have a goat" (this is how your comment translated) XD
