Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 393	Posted - 2012.09.17 18:27:00 - [1] - Quote Before spawning into game, you can move either L3 or R3 and view not just the current map you are on but the red/off limits areas. If you are the least bit observant, you will see that all the maps seem to be connected. Biomass, Communications, the spire one...not sure about Plateaus, i will have to double check. Since all these maps boarder each other, do they represent different "Districts" that we will be able to have ownership of in Null sec next year or do all of these maps make up 1 district with various areas? We know larger games are coming to the sound of 64v64 --- will it be one big game in the sense of playing on Biomass and Communications all at once or even all 4 of our current "maps" in a single game? Or will it be 64v64 on the size of a Bio or Comm type map? Will we have 1 MCC per side as we do now or will be have 4 MCCs per side where only a certain 'A' 'B' and 'C' stations shoot at a designated MCC?
Scrubby McScrubscrub Circle of Huskarl Minmatar Republic 48	Posted - 2012.09.17 19:18:00 - [2] - Quote As far as districts go, no, from what I have seen from the promos most districts on planets do not touch each other, so this is unlikely. Your guess is as good as mine as far a MCC's are concerned.
Villore Isu Algintal Core Gallente Federation 115	Posted - 2012.09.17 19:30:00 - [3] - Quote Each district is comprised of several large installations of varying sizes, basically we are only playing on one district right now (probably). I can't really remember all the details, but it was covered in an EVE Fanfest presentation called 'Dust 514: Seeding the Universe'. (The first few minutes are about how the EVE universe was created, then they move onto the Dust specific bit)

I encourage others who have not seen it to watch it. So is it safe to assume that when you say "basically we are only playing on one district right now" you are saying that all four "Maps" that we play on right now comprise 1 district? To put that into scale again, 1 single district is the size of combining 4 skirmish maps: Biomass, Communications, Plateaus and "Spire Map" ---

You might fight for the same piece of land months apart, but with different installations there.

And going by the video, we might not even be playing on a full district, since there should be more than four maps.
WT Sherman Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 63	Posted - 2012.09.17 20:31:00 - [7] - Quote Some of the maps don't appear to have a red zone and there are roads leading to other structures. Been curious but not enough to jump in a lav and go tearing off to see what is there.
Shiro Mokuzan 220	Posted - 2012.09.17 20:37:00 - [8] - Quote The entire map when you zoom all the way out will be one district. We're just being restricted to a tiny part of the maps right now.

Typo Name 78	Posted - 2012.09.17 23:20:00 - [12] - Quote From what I see, they appear to make up one awesome district- that gives me very high hopes for this game. And I'm pretty sure the "plateaus" map is in the southeast corner.

Yea, and i have been following this game since march and watched a lot of videos and read a lot about it, but seeing the scale ingame is wild.
