    I'm not sure why it's like this in the first place. I'd like to see it possible to have multiple stations in one sector.

    Sectors used to be locked into a rather small area but now there is no reason to have them set low. As far as I am aware larger sectors actually improves performance and it definitely makes jump drive much more useful (in several cases with the default sector size I could fly the distance back after a jump before I could charge it again).

    Perhaps limit the number of stations in a sector in direct relation to the size of the sectors. With Gates being stations it would be nice to have several in a single sector, although I would much prefer gates being multi-destination.

    how about 1 station per cubic kilometer. If your sector sizes were set at 2000, you'd be able to put 8 stations in a sector.

    One thing that comes to mind: Since stations are immobile, decreasing the sector size would possibly kill the server.

    Coordinate related issues are possible, too.

    But that's why the config says that scaling a universe down can cause problems.

    Best solution would be to have config options for stations per sector and a stations per so many blocks^3 (like @jath said).
