Guild Software recently posted some new development plans for their MMORPG test title, Vendetta. The highlight of the new development is that they creating a new universe that will be much larger than the current one:

Development on the new universe is going pretty well. Waylon's been doing most of it, implementing my basic design with a lot of detail of his own. Ray's done a great job on making the navigation stuff happen thus far. Hopefully you'll be seeing their handiwork in the not-too-distant future.

The scale of this new universe is dramatically larger than anything we've dealt with in Vendetta before, and a lot of work will still remain before all the sectors are as detailed as we would like. However, generally speaking, you can expect 30 Solar Systems linked by various wormhole areas. The Solar Systems themselves contain 256 "sectors" of space. So.. where the current Vendetta universe is 18 sectors, the new universe will be 7,680 sectors.
