Why does the Q&A page when I click on the last page link for the topic and it goes to a blank page with a set of page numbers which I have to go to the previous page to bring up the topic?

Doh, it works now. You win again SL Forum. But wait till next time......

you see the blank page because posts were deleted, and the thread count doesn't update to reflect the removed posts.

Yah, SL is fun.

is there an end to the known universe? after a certain point i don't seem to be able to find more planets :o and how does probing work anyway? i'm a bit confused by the 'add 1350 in any direction' rule

The inhabitable universe goes from -12k on all axes to 12k on all axes.

As for probing, I suck at explaining stuff like that so, I'll let someone else field that.

To understand probing you just have to understand the geometry of cubes. The skylords universe is one giant cube that spans from
-32767:-32767:-32767 to 32767:32767:32767. The inhabitable zone (meaning where there are planets) is from -12000:-12000:-12000 to 12000:12000:12000. Fully upgraded probes have a scan distance of 400 which means 400 in each direction. For instance a probe sent out at 0:0:0 will see all locations between -400 and 400 on the X, Y, and Z axis. Thats a distance of 800 on each axis. To probe an area you'll adjust each of the axis by +800 and -800 to avoid overlap between probes.

To give you an idea of how big the inhabitable universe is, take that number we talked about earlier 12000 and double it to account for the + and - zone. Now we have 24000. Now cube that number to account for 3 different axis. You get 13,824,000,000,000 possible planet locations in skylords. Now if we look at the 400 search distance on one probe. Double the 400 to account for + and -. Then cube that 800 distance to account for the 3 different axis. So each probe scans 512,000,000 possible planet locations. Which means it would take about 27,000 probes to scan every possible location for planets. @ 7500 gold per probe that's a hefty 202.5m Gold it would cost you.
