Will the planetary systems be placed on a single mega map, like in the intro of the StarEngine video, or will they each be on different game maps, each with their own skybox?asked by CommanderFran

Actually, each system is a part of the map. We still have the concept of a megamap. However, today there are branches. Each solar system has its branch. What we call the root of the universe, you really can't have players there. Players are always in the star systems. They're not quite maps, but it's somewhat the same concept. However, it's all in one big dataset. As we add systems, it's just the streaming system that comes into play.
