Please refresh my memory and tell me where they stipulated that? I dont recall them saying flight/travel times would be shorter.

The number of sectors used is really irrelevant to me so long as overall, the time it takes to get between factions is shorter through unreg.

I would tend to agree if "a" was the unsafe way "b" was the REALLY unsafe way. There should be NO safe way since space is dangerous.

The number of sectors becomes really relevant if you want to create "safer zones" (as discussed at length) and if you want to implement territorial warfare (which was on Ist's pre-Jumpgate Evolution slate).

@Ambro: If you note, the idea is to have that 'safe' sector be linked also to unreg, so is not totally safe...

Thanks das, i missed that post by Scorch. Doesn't really tell us anything other than travel will be faster but the point is conceded.

@Ambro - When i say "safe" what i am saying is that you are less likely to be molested not that you will be immune from it. Space is dangerous :P
