Title: Creating Sectors

Researched Improved Command & Control - which I thought was all that was needed to get sectors to come up - but when I go to the secotr window it is blank - what have I forgotten?

And you need more than 1 to get more than 1 system in your sector.

No you don't. I think 1 allow you to control your home system and the immediate neighbors. 2 allow you to control systems up to two jump points away, etc etc.

The sector command needs 1 level to have a range of 1. After that you need to double the level each time you want to add one to the range. So Level 2 = Range 2, Level 4 = Range 3, Level 8 = Range 4, etc..

Okay, sorry, I never went beyond range two myself. I shouldn't have spoken so confidently.
