I modified Sirius pretty heavily to hopefully allow for easier testing.
Each faction has a small home cluster of three planets. The theory was one with depots, one for modding, and another with a shipyard. Please don't attack the enemy home base. In fact, don't even go to the enemy's home base - just leave any ships or planets alone if they're in the home clusters.
In the center are all the old Sirius planets, open to all. Feel free to attack any planets, ships, or whatever in the center of the map. I tried to leave enough planets floating around that factions could actually fight over them a bit or just fight around them.
The flight in from the home areas is kinda long; if you'd prefer me to move those planets in, I can do so, but it also helps keep them isolated and free from attacks from the ignorant or annoying.
The map is set as Metaverse, so there shouldn't be an end to it, but I set the timer at a few billion days just in case.
If you have any suggestions, post here to let me know. I'll try to edit it when I have the chance.
Also, I've saved the map so that if something goes wrong (or the server resets from an update), I can restore it. I'll try to save an updated version of the map later on too, with the planets all fully built up.

This has been broken by a few K'luth players eralyer sunday night. I can not reamber who they were, but as far as i know the ICC was defending there home system from the K'luth poping into there home system than moving forward into the other system. They did NOT appair to be bombing, or landing inf in the home systems BUT THEY WERE IN THE ICC HOME SYSTEMS.

Nice Map
The map has gone again is this due to 24 hour server reboot?
If so is there anyway on setting it up like MV i.e after reboot map and game state return
Thanks

I've seen it reset a couple times now, and continue on to the another scenario. I'm not really sure why, but I have put the beta testing map back up both times.. and I'll continue to do so if ever I find it messed up again.
I'll also try to see if I can stop it from doing that... but no promises.
