Uncharted Skies

This mod repositions every sector in the game and groups them together into thematic regions.

A new save games is advised. See "Compatibilities" for reasons.

Main Feature

Pretty much moves around every sector while keeping vanilla rules and restrictions in place.

Grand Exchange is still the center of the universe at position (0,0) but everything around it was moved away to give it some room for it's role as central network node.

The ring highway is fully intact, with the highway sectors moved in such a way that they still connect in a way that resembles a ring.

Most Sectors that contain 2 sectors connected with a super highway are considered transit sectors now. There will be jump gates in both sectors and be placed in such position that give them better transit looks. There are a few exceptions to that, like Earth and Emperor's Pride, which are considered dead ends.

There are also unclaimed ships to be found. As a bonus, those and all unclaimed base-game ships will now have unique names.

Additionally, a lot of uniquily named quest npc ships can niw be spoken by the computer. This mostly concerns Ships from DLC quests.

Additional Changes

Just moving around everything didn't quite work, so certain Sectors received some changes.

Gates that only got moved and rotated inside the same sector are not listed here.

Nopileus' Fortune

The gate to Grand Exchange was deconnected. A new Gate at the far end of the long highway now lead toward that sector.

Litany of Fury

The gate to Wretched Skies got moved into the second sector.

Hatikah's Choice

To look better on the map the entire sector had flip. Moving the gas giant to the right and the asteroid section to the left. Additionally the gates to Morning Star and Tharka's Cascade were moved into the asteriod field.

This will cause a glitch in existing save games.

Tharka's Cascade

To better look on the map the sector had to be slightly adjusted, but should not be noticable.

This will cause a glitch in existing save games.

Emperor's Pride

To better look on the map the sector had to be slightly adjusted, but should not be noticable.

This will cause a glitch in existing save games.

New Sectors

To fill in the empty space left by the reposition new sector have been placed along the road. The names were chosen to fit thematically to the region they were placed in. They are for the most part not designed after their counterpart in X3.
