No, Dave, before I read that manual @ CoC I was trying to ask if you could have - say - one field improvement on map1 and one on map2 anywhere, e.g. in the opposite corner of that map ...

Not stupid at all in my book.
IIRC, looking at the hex values in a SAV file, theoretically you should be able to do just that. 
Sadly, that isn't the case.

Hmmm ... as I said before, that would have been quite a good deal, imagine all these wonderful wormhole transports from Alpha to Delta quadrant

Excellent thread, chaps!
Some cool ideas/advice...!

Hexing transport relationships
To consolidate more transport information into this thread, here're some bits buried in Seeking advice for El Aurens v2
An example of transport data from EAv2:by Catfish
Also need to check the byte for the number of transporters (offset 29896). I'm not sure whether it's an unsigned byte or an unsigned short integer (offsets 29896-29897). I suspect the latter.
Using the same idea that you had JP, Catfish tested to see whether changing the coordinates of the second square to something a worm-hole distance away would work. No dice.Code:4F 00 = x coordinate of 1st square linked by transporter 11 00 = y coordinate of 1st square linked by transporter 00 = map for 1st square 00 always 00 in EAv2 4F 00 = x coordinate of 2nd square linked by transporter 11 00 = y coordinate of 2nd square linked by transporter 03 = map for 2nd square 01 = transporter type (0-2 = types 1-3) 00 00 always 00 in EAv2
Didn't confirm it myself.

Top stuff! (even if all experiments did not work)
I will post up some examples of Tech's advice on
map relations here when I get home from work!

Does the AI tend to pillage the transporters?

As luck would have it this thread might directly relate to a project of my own I have in the works, I'll just shamelessly bump it to the top of the thread board for easy future reference.
Boco, Curt, thankyou kind sirs for your expertise on this topic.

This one may prove useful to me as well.

IIRC, DarthVeda did manage to use Scotto's CSPL utility in order to "redirect" terrain transporters in his incomplete Kyokujitsu scenario. I don't know anything beyond that, considering my sad lack of computer programming experience."If you are not confused by quantum physics, then you haven't really understood it." -Niels Bohr
