![]() How to Remotely Map a sector:Use a fast scout equipped with Exploration software, Trade Command Software Mk1 & 2, Trading System Extension, Navigation Command Software, Special Command Software, and Tranporter Device. When the green cursor is where you want it, hit ENTER and the ship you have selected will travel to that position. Hit the INSERT button to rotate the map to the vertical orientation of the Y plane and use the 8,2 keys to set the height of the cursor above the horizontal X,Z plane. Move the green cursor with the 8,2,4,6 number pad keys to the desired position. ![]() When the sector map opens, you’ll be looking at the X,Z plane of the map. When Move To Position is selected, the Universe Map appears. The “Move To” position is designated by the green cursor which is visible in the Sector Map. The mechanics of this method were referenced in the Move The Cursor Section above and can be used to place a satellite or referencing external information to navigate to a gate that has yet to be discovered in game. This method allows you to move your ship or a a remote ship to any position in any sector using the universe and sector maps for visual reference. To access a remote ship: Personal>My Property> Click on Ship in List> Orders> Command Console> Navigation> Move to Position Command. To access your ship: Current Ship> Autopilot> Command Console> Navigation> Move to Position Command. Of Note, I have not yet found a way to designate the cursor as a fly too target that is persistent and remains on the map. Using the Moo-Kye’s Revenge Sector info (), to fly to the South Gate, type in “-3400,0,-31297” no quotes and note commas are used only to separate each coordinate. The meter, kilometer distinction is important to note, because when you enter coordinates for the Move To Coordinates Command, that entry is made in meters, leaving out the comma that designates thousands. It will ask you to enter coordinates, separated by a comma. ![]() For known coordinates, this command can be used directly or remotely to position a ship. Used for movement within the ships current sector. To access a remote ship: Personal>My Property> Click on Ship in List> Orders> Command Console> Navigation> Move to Coordinates. To access your ship: Current Ship> Autopilot> Command Console> Navigation> Move to Coordinates. How to Position Ship on the Sector MapThis applies to your ship or a remote ship. After it’s properly set, you could hit the ENTER key and your ship would fly to that position as described in the next section "How To Position Your Ship on the Sector Map" To set the height of the cursor, press the INSERT key to rotate the map to the vertical orientation and use the 8 or 2 to move the cursor in the Y plane. Using the 8,2,4,6 to move the cursor in the horizontal plane of the map. The desired position is marked, followed by flying to that position. Move the cursor while looking at the Sector Map: This is usually part of visually placing a satellite referencing the sector map. In the Sector Map, coordinates of the cursor are presented as 58.5km, but when it comes to entering coordinates for navigation, kilometers have to be converted to meters so 58.5km if entered into the “Go To Coordinate” Command (described below), would be entered as meters. So 56,850 when entered as a coordinate would be 56850. It is not used as a thousands designator for the number. Note that when you see a comma in a coordinate position, it is only used to separate the coordinates. Possible variations might be 58.5km, or 58,500 meters, or minus the thousands designator, 58500 meters. Coordinate Readout: Note about reading versus entering coordinates: If you are reading coordinates from the lower right of your HUD, or from an online source, they may appear as meters or kilometers. The green cursor can be moved to a position on the map to identify it’s coordinates followed by flying to that position if desired. Note, they are listed as kilometers such as 38.5 km. The coordinates of the green cursor are found on the right bottom of the Sector map and are stacked X (top), Y (middle) Z (bottom). This is the method to visually place satellites. Use the INSERT key to rotate the map 90° to a vertical orientation to see the Y plane. These are the horizontal planes of the map. When the Sector Map (default key “.”) is opened, on the edge of the map you will see x on the right edge, -x on left edge, z on top edge, and -z on bottom edge. Individual coordinate numbers for X, Y, and Z can be positive or negative depending on what side of the map centerline they exist on. How to Read the Sector Map - Coordinates are written as X, Y, Z where X and Z are the horizontal planes and Y is the vertical plane.
