Upcoming gamma reset is probably the only chance to bring back the old, connected world back.
Whatever was the reason behind network changes, it's gone.

More connections, shorter travel times, less time to find action. You could actually WALK around the islands, not just idle waiting for a teleport beacon to come online.

That web won't come back but the teleport and highway network will be looked at when we get there.

Why exactly isn't it coming back? If playerbase in general thinks it's better(still up for discussion of course) and more fun wouldn't it be a good idea?

I don't really see the playerbase asking for it. Everyone seems pretty happy with the way things are.

yea that map is missing the beta islands (and alpha 2 islands) anyway. Not to mention when steam releases, and the pop explodes, they going to have to expand and push the gama islands further out to add more alpha, alpha 2, and beta islands, and later more gama islands.

You always have to keep a lot more space then there are entities to avoid overcrowding (which limits population growth). An organism can only grow as large as it's surrounding environment. ~ Basic evolution.

Eve online forgot this. Which is the reason that games pop has stagnated (remained stable.. sort of) But stagnated. Because there is not enough space or opportunity for people to expand.

Pretty sure the Perpetuum Devs will not make the same mistake.

Just needs some long range teleports. Moving enough junk just to do alittle pvp elsewhere is apain in the arse.

Your not going to like the consequences of bringing back the old network...

Yep.

Couple of more highways would be nice.

Yeah, imagine if one group could project power over the whole map... oh wai...

Streamlined teleport network > spark teleport. Makes being a trader a bit more fun probably, too.

I have no sympathy.  I told them, three times actually.
