<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No... a sector is one square on the system map. It is 1/12th the width of a system. The squares on the galaxy map are not sectors, they are just squares. A sector is nowhere near 10 light years. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hmm, what is 10 light years wide then? I read something along these lines in this forum, but it is likely I misundersoot the post. Is that the width of a system? And yes, you are right, as you can see by looking at the distances on the galaxy map.

[/QB]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This was a bug noted with stealth armor on sats. Once installed on one sat in the stack, the enitre stack is cloaked - activated or not.

This is seen as a bug because a cloaked sat stack at the warp point no longer attacks when an enemy comes through.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That would be one massive system! I think our solar system is about a light hour or so across. It is ~8 light minutes from the Earth to the Sun. A system is a tiny portion of the 10 LY x 10 LY square on the galaxy map.
