Void out the adjacent sector and see if you can plot a course. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Is there any way to tell by looking at anything that a sector is in a MSL? There is all sorts of helpful information at this web site: http://tw-cabal.navhaz.com/glossary.html "Major Space Lanes, MSL’s: The MSL’s are all of the sectors that are directly between Sector 1, and the Stardock, and the triangle between Stardock, Alpha Centauri, and Rylos. They get cleared every extern. Don’t leave anything in them that you don’t mind losing at extern. Planets parked in MSL’s will be dropped to lv 2 cits if they have lv 3 or higher." _________________ BOTE 1998 Champs: Team Fament HHT 2015 Champs: Cloud09 Big Game 2016 Champs: Draft team HHT 2018 Champs: Rock Stars Big Game 2019 Champs: Draft Team Classic Style Games Here: telnet://crunchers-twgs.com:2002 Web page from 1990's: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103155645/http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/tradewar.htm Blog with current server info: http://cruncherstw.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/4dja5Z8 E-mail: Cruncherstw@gmail.com FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/CrunchersTW

Remember you have to plot SD-Rylos, Rylos-SD, SD-Alpha Centauri, Alpha Centauri-SD, Rylos - Alpha Centauri, and finally Alpha Centauri to Rylos. At least that is the way I remember it. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

If you have a ZTM of the universe, you can search the TWX database for sectors with 7 warps-in and 6 warps-out to narrow down the possibilities. You can then eprobe those locations or explore. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Lol, it has been too long since I played - You also have to plot 1-SD and SD-1. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

I've usually found it sufficient to do a single pass with a tour algorithm (1->2, 2->3, etc.) to find the zeros. _________________ Suddenly you're Busted!

Are you using Swath? Tools > Sector Finder Warps >=6, no port type, with a backdoor That will give you a shorter list to look through. Standard Universes almost always have Zero ports with 6 warps to and from and one backdoor in. _________________ BOTE 1998 Champs: Team Fament HHT 2015 Champs: Cloud09 Big Game 2016 Champs: Draft team HHT 2018 Champs: Rock Stars Big Game 2019 Champs: Draft Team Classic Style Games Here: telnet://crunchers-twgs.com:2002 Web page from 1990's: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103155645/http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/tradewar.htm Blog with current server info: http://cruncherstw.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/4dja5Z8 E-mail: Cruncherstw@gmail.com FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/CrunchersTW
