Looks like we've still got a little glitch in the detection range circles:

That being? I don't immediately see a problem...

I think he means the little triangle in the middle, created by the circles around Gion B, Morma, and the smaller circle around the deep space there not quite overlapping totally. Personally I agree it's not a big problem.

If that's what he's referring to, it's not a problem at all, and is working as intended. That empire doesn't have detection range to see in the small region shown not covered by detection range circles.

Possibly, hard to tell for sure. Never said it was a big problem. Though there had been an issue in the past with overlapping circles.

Can I take that as an implicit affirmation that this is indeed what you were referring to? I will also strongly endorse Geoff's statement that this is exactly the intended behavior, and more strongly, the desired behavior. This small sort-of-triangular shape is showing the gap between the three circular zones of detection. If you want to assert that there is something unclear then please at lease explain what you think is unclear and what is your basis for asserting it is unclear.

The point is that it is not even a small problem, it is the desired result.

Yes, I fixed that quite a while back now (two years ago maybe?). The spot you see is not an overlap.

Yes, wasn't sure at the time if there should have been a gap there or not.

Yup, I remember that. Just thought it might be cropping up again.
