Starmap

The starmap is used for navigation and shows every accessible sector of space. Crews can locate themselves and which direction their ship is facing on the starmap by a white cone. A blue circle around this cone shows how far the ship can warp and which sectors are in warp range. Captains can chart a course by setting waypoints by right-clicking on a sector. These waypoints help pilots identify the correct sector to align to. To deselect a waypoint right-click again.

The default key to open the starmap is [M] and pressing [Space] will center the camera onto the ship.

Faction Zones
Factions have claimed certain sectors of the galaxy, under the galactic zone laws, indicated by the color of the sector icon and the areas of solid color on the starmap. Blue represents the Colonial Union, orange the Wolden-Dorf Corporation, pink represents the Fluffy Biscuit Company, white represents neutral space (AOG), and red represents infected space. Certain faction ships are more likely to become across in their respected zones. Neutral is more unpredictable, as ships from any factions can be found there.

The Colonial Union space is safe to all factions unless the ship entering is flagged. Traveling through CU space can lead to a cargo inspection and search for contraband goods. The W.D. Corporation is notoriously ruthless when it comes to a ship other than W.D. Corp ships entering their sectors and will shoot on sight. Traveling through neutral space often encounters hostile drones and A.O.G. bandits. Infected space is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Entering such a sector leads to immediate shield damage and a possible encounter with an infected carrier.

Crews are recommended to travel through zones that they are a faction member, as they are more likely to encounter friendly ships than hostile ones.

Sectors
There are identifier that provide information of what partakes inside the sector.

Trivia

 * Fluffy Biscuit sectors never become infected.
