But nice post!

Wait till you get the NULL patrol sector....

and you'll be on the lookout for xxx0 patrol sectors from now on, there is no 0 (spoon?), just 1-9.

Thank you for clearing that up, I was half expecting to be called an idiot and shown where BF10 is when I started this post, nice to know I'm not the only one who's run into this, thank ye kindly!

I've actually encountered the NULL patrol before, twice if I'm not mistaken. But receiving a patrol sector that doesn't exist sure threw me for a loop, wasn't expecting that one

Got one that was 100% land once, with my first install.
I too, was an unhappy and confused camper.

No problems with the newer install.

I've had BF10 assigned a couple of times. The first time, I was utterly puzzled, too. But the boys at the "O" club filled me in later... and now I know it means "License to roam, you big renegade!"

You will get "NULL" assigned any time you dock somewhere else than homebase (such as at a resupply ship). I've been told that means "Take the long way home."

BF10 is a top secret 'hidden sector' that only the elite of the elite have access to...

I take it the boys at BDU also forgot to show you the secret handshake and give you your special decoder ring. Ah well, accidents happen.

Note that no squares are lable with 10 anywhere within the BdU grid system.

Anybody else think that perhaps BF-10 is the designator for the larger square containing BF-11 through BF-19?

Just a thought...
