Has the mission area been increased as well? For reasons I won't get into, 64km may NOT be enough sometimes and I would like to have a comfortable cusion (like double!!!! 128km please). ;)
BOE rocks! Anyway you never know when Unicron is gonna drop by...

If you need a bigger play area you're doing something wrong.
Flying in a straight line at 100m/s it takes 10 minutes to cover 60km. And that's just flying. Not doing any dogfighting etc.
That said I haven't touched the waypoint stuff that was added by Kazan for the wing commander people so I don't know what it does.

Even when using waypoints 64K can be very big. Simply start in the lower left edge, and then move to lower right, then to upper right and so on. And don't forget it is 3D, there is also an up or down of 64 K, so there is uge of space, even when using autopilot.
If you have problems that huge ships display to soon, then script them to do not. Within time-compression you will not be able to see that correctly.
But even with this, wasn't the mission area already bumped up to 128K ? Not sure with that.

Messed around with the Gigas prototype last year or two ago and that sucker alone takes up 1/3 of the area. (22KM long) I was doing a lot of 'experiments' back then so although it's the same response I got last time I was wondering if anything had changed since then...

IIRC someone added a few zeros to the limit.
