New Regions – Why not use the ones already established by the exploration community?

Sectors incoming!

I agree calling the puzzle pieces “regions” would be confusing. However having Fdev redo the sectors is also not feasible as that would require a lot of work. ALSO calling it a grid just doesn’t sound right but is a better idea.

I’d say call them “sectors” instead of “grid” so it is easy to understand, but won’t be confused with the names of the areas. Kind of like in the US where you have a town name, and also a zip code.

This grid or sector name change shouldn’t require much in to redo in the system, potentially just change some text and leave the rest alone.

/signed - either proposal, something, anything will be better than a dull numbering scheme, but using the GMP regions in some way would be really nice.

I'm in. I know we ask a lot you often FD but these guys have worked hard over the years. Please if at all possible. +1

If there are mechanics involved, this could be just a cosmetic thing where you group the numeric regions under the GMP names so that the titles show up visually, but the regions are still used for programmatic functions.

A lot of signed, without saying what they want to happen, so I can only assume it's proposal 1. Look at it realistically there's is no way, given how close we are to release, that FD are going to change that much of the structure they have already put in place. It's just not feasible.

Now if they had of communicated this back when the Exploration FFF was supposed to have originally gone live then we might have had time to convince them to make a change along these lines, but alasy they didn't.

I think it's pretty clear that they have plans already for the regions they have set out and, as has been suggested, they will tie in to things that are already in place within the Codex. So asking them to change the layout, or the naming is not just as simple as changing the wording on the Galaxy Map. Just on a side note, I hardly think we came up with the concept of calling parts of space regions.

As they already said this view would be a toggle My proposal would be to implement the GMPs map as a view that can be toggled on and off. That way FD don't need to change anything with the work they have already done, and we can still use the names we made and refer to them as such (if wanted) when creating expeditions.

This is a good suggestion as well. Ill be adding it to the OP.

As a newer player, I really like proposal 1. It will make learning things in the game much less confusing if they are the same.

Nothing stopping them using both. Sector 27: blahblah for example. over time all the sectors can be "named". I personally like the numbers

Why not go one step further with this and toss out the idea that since player factions, and the upcoming squadrons allow for essentially real time, automated data injection into the game, how about allowing for player designated and named POI's in the same method? And then having THAT as a galactic map overlay similar to EDSM, with filters and such?
