Comprising of over 230 planets and 25 odd stars, key planets in the systems located in each of the three constellations Puppis, Canis Major and Columbia, together form the the 'backbones' for profitable economic structures; triggering expansionist wars amongst the occupiers of Vela, Crux and Centarus.
Where as much profit is to be made within each constellation, factions have yet to find a way to link all three and reap the rewards of trade between constellations.
Again, this is another early release intended to gather further feedback. In contrast to the first in the series of these 'campaignesque' maps, with just over half the planets of the first this map performs a lot better. Again a further major difference is that rather than wormholes forming the outline of each constellation, in this map phase lanes perform this function.
I found the most enjoyment from this map is to be gained when set to normal game and research speeds.
So, if you like it, hate it or feel ambivalent towards it, please feel free to pop along here -->
