As I play more, finding quadrant size is an interesting choice.
For me, the small sizes 20 - 30 lack enough quantity of landing zones to adjust to twists and turns of the games (but does mean it's a natural type of difficulty multiplier).
With the current game mechanics and features in place (2.0.17), the default map size (38) feels about right for # of quadrants, and the density can make things more/less challenging for the average map.
At some point over this 38 sector size, one would think that sheer size, # of landing zones, and potential travel distance would again make the average map more challenging. Given the restrictions of the given universe size (physical bubble the current map generator works with), I wanted to throw out food for thought/discussion on MAX QUADRANTS.
Summary Thought: If 38 feels more or less the 'optimal' map size, the current range of 20 - 40 feels like the upper end is a little cramped. If the map generator could handle, what would others think of an upper max of 50 (or 60?) if possible. +/- thoughts?
