Check mine

I heard a rumor that 255 is only the limit the game generator can make, and that you can manually make and load maps exeding this limit.
Can anyone confirm?

You should be able to try it easy enough. I am pretty sure I did once and it gave me an RCE when I tried adding the 256th system. But lately when I say I have tested something and found such and such, I have a habit of still being incorrect.

Imperator Fyron - thanks for the information
Andrés Lescano - i have downloaded you system names also, thanks.
Andrés Lescano, geoschmo & Imperator Fyron - unfortunately 255 systems is the maximum, i did get the range check error when adding the 256th system.
so much for trying to avoid being limited to just wormhole travel. i was hoping to simulate hyperspace/warp/jump travel across the galaxy and keep the existing warp points as shortcuts. plus have hidden star systems to explore and find.

You might enjoy my Hypermaze mod. In the Gold-compatible Version (2.0), only about half of the systems are "normal" space, and the rest are hyperspace systems.

(In the v1.49 "classic"-compatible Version (1.2), about 60% of the systems were hyperspace.)

capnq downloaded your mod. i like the way you simulated hyperspace movement. can battle in hyperspace.

Great! That's at least four people who've tried it.

I've been thinking about some changes for an updated Version, but I haven't really done any work on it.
