I say \'system\' and you say ...

... what? Sector? Is system the same as sector?

I ask because - for instance - Training facility says 'all ships in the sector ...' or only 1 Ultra-recycler/sector.

Re: Me again viz: system names.

I've compiled a list of almost 600 system names (including some from SEIV) and another of about 500 or so of just actual star names.

I can post this if it is of interest.

Don't know who came up with these. Don't care for most of them - so I compiled my own list from actual star names and added in the best (IMHO) from the default list.
