the nav map is unfortunatly limited on one sector only
the only thing you can do is to change the look and the systems
Isn't your very own mod using different sector maps SWAT?
not ingame
there are different sectors but only sirius is shown when opening the map
If the interface navmap had MIPs I assume it could be possible...
What you can do is extend the general universe map. By this I mean relocate all the systems from Sirius to a smaller cluster, and add another map that will be aside it. Take for example the sector map of the Russian mod "Curse of the Daam-K'Vosh" (picture attached): They moved the whole Sirius sector to the upper left, and added 2 new ones so that there would be a lot of systems for the players to explore. I'm planning to use exactly the same method with EoC.
@ PolarBear
Thanks a lot for the idea, it seems effectively the best solution to extend the map.
You're welcome 
hmm, not only good idea but also artistically well done by them. Is there also an english version of the mod?
Unfortunately, no. At the time it was new, and even later, only Russian FL fans knew about it and nobody bothered to translate it as the community in which it was created and released gave up on Freelancer (Elite Games RU). You could search for it there if you want.
But I have to admit, this was one of the best mods released at that time. Not only that it added lots of new ships, weapons and systems, but it also was the first mod to edit effects (Probably not through the ale files), and it had it's own SP missions that were a sequal to the original ones, in which you fight a new faction of cultisit that terrorises humanity and eventually find out more about the Nomads. A very well done mod in my opinion.
Since system positions are a float, you can squeeze them a lot closer together than they currently are. Also there is a mod available that will allow you to start with an empty sector map.
i personally would like to see a plugin that can change the map depending where you are
probably by overwriten the texture crc when jumping into another sector

Anyone seen Adoxa around?
actually no
There's a lot of free space in the NavMap, probably 75% or something, if we start with the Vanilla. Sad to say, I've forgotten most of what I did once... I also lost most of my Freelancer material when building a new computer. But the NavMap is something like 20x20 = 400 possible systems in total. Dunno really, but Frontierspace has some 150 systems, and you can see it here, http://i514.photobucket.com/al…akki/Frontierspacemap.jpg, where every and each point is available. So, you can put a lot of extra stuff in there. And the "physical" distance on the map doesn't matter at all, since you don't run it... You do it by gates - not Bill, but anyway.
Hopefully I find the time to participate. 
EDIT: Remebered I had this: http://i514.photobucket.com/al…arahakki/Mappositions.jpg

Yeah, true, we can add a lot of systems. On Freelancer Explorer (makes my life so easy 
), all works fine, but in game, and when we open the navmap, certain systems are piled in certain sectors (in the extremities of the map), I noticed it repeatedly, whether it is on my own work or on other mods.
personally i still would prefer a different solution as i dont want to put too many details in a small window
I think there is someway to make the map bigger by editing the HUD and making its size bigger on the screen. Of course this may cause some problems with the resolution, so you will have to edit every available resolution the game contains with HUD shifting... So if you want simpler just stick to my original solution, is the simplest you could find.
