Hi there. I'm just wondering, has the ability to visit the islands in Oollite (like the one in Galaxy 7 thats a third of the map)? I would go test but im on my PS3 and theres no port yet possible (damn Sony!!!)...

Here is an example of what I mean by 'Islands' (sorry didn't explain very well...)

One of the new features of 1.71 is

Intergalactic jump destinations have been made user/scripter controllable.

It should be possible, for example, for someone to make a galactic hyperjump from Galaxy 6 and arrive in the Galaxy 7 island. So the answer is "yes", I think, but I don't know how!

Yes, it is possible in 1.71 to visit the islands, but it is not set up like this by default.

The link below will tell you everything you need to know on how to make it possible to get there:

I'm actually right now working on an OXP that will make use of this feature. After a high-speed pursuit through five galaxies the player will face a show-down in one of these previously inaccessible regions.

Ah thank you very much! This will enable me to work on an OXP I had an idea for...
