the last step before open beta or the last step before release?

It will probably be the last step.

Lot of things still need to be implemented.

do you already know when this (or another) map will be implemented?
a lot of time has passed and i think it would be a good idea to have it if galactic war goes open beta (i heard itll be open beta but i dont know).

so no four areas in top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right?
that'd be really cool

It will be more like islands, I did not changed that part of the code yet.

i dont know if this is already proposed but since on the galaxy map proposes the map is still splitted in 4 parts i dont think it is planned to be implemented.
how about the map is splitted into "islands" with idk depending on the size of the galaxy 5-6 or whatever 10-20 planets, so the whole galaxy is like a pattern of islands and each faction has like 4-5 islands that are spread over the map.
that would add a lot of tactical gameplay because for example cybran can try to capture the planets surrounding an aeon group of 13 planets and then start capturing these planets. instead of just shifting fronts like if the start areas are preset, the cybran will be able to slowly gain the whole area and when the last planet of the island is captured the aeon cant easily get it back.
it should be taken care that when the random islands are randomly generated, the islands of each faction are evenly spread out so no faction has luck and has a supercluster of 30 planets what would give it a real advantage.
just to make sure: with islands i dont mean that there are 20 planets with only 1 or 2 connections to the other planets. the planets and connections are evenly spread out. there are just color islands that indicate which faction owns the area

Apart from that I like it.

This is a capture of the galaxy editor, It doesn't use the same display code as the lobby (same base but older and not updated code). The links will probably look better inside the lobby.

Yeah great job looks quite a bit like a star system now.
