Star Systems in IW2

[StarWrecker]

So they actually refer to any real stars at all?

I know Fomalhaut is in fact a real star, and its actual proximity to Earth (23 light years, which would put it just off the I-War 1 GSV view) makes me wonder.

Another question... I know they are mentioned, but how does one get out of the Gagarin Cluster to get to Earth? Is there a jump accelerator? (Bear in mind, I am on the 2nd to last level, so if you find out then, blame my ignorance)

There in a Jump Accelerator in the Mwari system, I forget exactly where. You do need to pay it a visit for the sake of a mission trigger further down the line. However, until you hit that mission in Act 3, you wont be able to go through.

As for the reality of the starmap, I really couldnt say. Some of the star names seem familiar, but to be honest, I havent looked it up.

There was supposed to be an accellerator between the second cluster and Earth and stuff was supposed to happen there, but they ran out of time...

sounds like a mod to me :up:

Yes there was an entire 'act' of the game cut due to time constraints, which would eventually had led to Earth.

There were plans to have an 'Earth' star cluster, which would probably have been based on the systems that were in I-War 1.

Saving that for Independence War 3? :(

How's it going, Mr. Robertson?
