In each cluster (GX0-GX9) there is 10 galaxy, and 9 rout between the neighbour galaxies. Lets see 2 examples: G32-G48 trade route has 5000 distance while G32 and G50 which for 1st look would be further from each other, only has distance of 3400. Some servers have expanded after some time, with the addition of another cluster or two. Not all servers have the same number of galaxies.
This makes them the most remote galaxies in the universe, but they are still only 5,600 LY from their furthest neighbors. Note that galaxies 00 and 69 do not have a cluster connection. The center section is the Galaxies, the arrows indicate cluster links.ĬLUSTER LINKS.GALAXIES WITHIN CLUSTERS.CLUSTER LINKS If you find the horseshoe shaped diagram confusing consider this layout:Įach line is a Galaxy Cluster. The distance between any two astros in the same system, but in different rings, is 0.2 times the difference in ring coordinate (C10:10:10:21 to C10:10:10:51 would be 0.4) The distance between any two astros in the same ring is 0.1. Inside a system, the distance between rings (C#:#:#:R#) is 0.2. This means that the maximum amount of distance from one galaxy to another in the AE Universe is 5600. Each galaxy is 100 in distance from one side to the other, and 100 distance between each region. Inside the cluster however it is 1800 LY from end to end. This does not change from cluster to cluster. When jumping from one cluster to another there is a distance of 2000 which is crossed. In addition the distance between bases is used as one of the stats in calculating the amount of credits you gain from Trade Routes. The distance between galaxies is very important for ship travel because the distance tells you how long it is going to take for the ships to arrive. The image below shows how this works in Ceti. The bottom (00) and top (x9) galaxy are therefore not linked at all. So for example, 39 and 40 are linked but 49 and 30 are not. Similarly the x0 gateways can link to any lower-numbered x9 galaxies. The x9 clusters can link to any higher-numbered x0 galaxy. For the other clusters however there are two gateway galaxies per cluster. C60 is the gateway to the rest of the universe in this cluster. Similarly the highest numerical cluster, in Ceti for example 60-69 are the ending galaxies. The 00-09 galaxies are the beginning cluster, with the 09 galaxy being the gateway to the rest of the universe. To do that you would need to fly to the 6x cluster gateway to the 4x cluster gateway and then onto 43. The universe has a starting point and an ending point.Ī gateway galaxy is the galaxy that allows you to fly into another cluster, and thus prevents you from flying from, say 67 to 43 directly. Similarly we do no have all the x9 galaxies linking to the x0 galaxies either. Each galaxy cluster (00-09,10-19) is linear however how the different clusters link varies. The universe in AE is not as simple as 00-69, it is not linear. This level is the identifier for your Planet itself. Giants and asteroid belts which are not coloniseable and you are not able to move your ships onto. There are different types of Astros, each with their own advantages and Each system contains multiple Astros, most of which can be colonised. The only exception being if a Guild member has a ship or base in the system, then you can see that system, and that system alone. If you do not have a ship or base in a region you will not be able to see any of the planets or bases in the region. Regions are also the grid ' Fog of War' in AE goes by. For example B31:55 could have 100 different systems, each with their own planets while B31:02 will have no systems at all. Each region contains a large collection of systems, how many depending on how close you are to the centre of the galaxy. The next level down is the Region (also known as the sector). Outer systems are popular for Guild Jump Gate hubs as there are so few other players in the same sector removing the fear of other players Scanners picking up incoming fleets. These sectors are each numbered on a grid and the population (in systems / planets) decreases as you pull out from the centre.
For the example below we are going to use the beta server when it had 50 galaxies.
How many exactly depends on the population of players on each server and when the population grows enough a new set of 10 galaxies are added to the mix. Each server is a universe in themselves and these contain large numbers of galaxies. The top level of each server is the Universe.
