Large Map Myth
« on: November 15, 2007, 10:25:30 AM »
After someone saying that it's to far of a flight on large maps, I felt the need to bust a myth...

It is no farther and takes no longer to fly base to base on a large map than it does on a small map.

Each sector/grid square on both size maps is 25 miles.

On the current large map, the distance between bases is 1 to 3 sectors depending on where you decide to cross the water. This is about the same distance needed to fly base to base on the small SFMA map, again this is depending where you're going.

Well if your a Bish and play in the U.S. am hours it shouldn't be a long flight cause the night before the rooks have taken all your bases.

Tell me a small map where I have to fly 3 sectors to find a fight.  Better yet, show me, post the pics of the map diagraming it.

Yep, and you can't there from here.  It seems to me that on small maps, it would actually take you longer to get to a fight, If you upped from your back field, and flew to the enemy back field as compared to upping from 2 front line bases on a large map.

Do you have to fly 3 sectors on a large map to find a fight?

SFMA

1 Sector  - A16 to A31
2 Sectors - A7 to A54 or A7 to A18
3 Sectors - A2 to A36

And, you don't HAVE to fly 3 sectors to find a fight on any map large or small. If you CHOOSE to do so, it's your choice.

My point was that the variable is constant. 25 miles is 25 miles whether on a small or large map.
