Feel free to add to this list with your own ideas, give feedback on others, and/or build off the backs of others to create the ultimate comprehensive sector/event idea list! Or just, you know, just a really cool comprehensive sector/event idea list. :D
Blackout sector: I already brought this idea up, but it will be included for the sake of convenience. Rich in resources, the occasional super-asteroid or small planetoids, very dark, rarely civilized due to distance from habitable worlds, aside from the odd research center.
Whirlwind sectors: accretion disk clouds dense and fast enough to form hurricane force winds. Will cut into your shields, push you and everything around, and obscure vision but otherwise leaves you unharmed. Fairly rare, always shows up as a hidden mass sector directly adjacent to a maelstrom sector, although maelstrom sectors can occur without whirlwind sectors.
Maelstrom sector: shows up as an anomaly sector, fairly rare, more common towards the outer rimunknown regions extragalactic void. Yeah let's go with that. How do I begin to describe the chaos that these sectors are? A black hole is off to one side, surrounded by its accretion disk. And the sector itself is constantly ravaged by anywhere from one to a dozen streams of superheated matter falling into the black hole, consisting of a giant laser type effect and any actual objects that spawn at the far end of the beam or touch it. Imagine a force gun the size of a planet, that can pierce targets to drag more stuff down at once. Yeah that sounds about right. Devoid of any debris or civilization, but if you stick around long enough the gravity well will pull something good to you from out of the sector.
Quarantine sectors, and a neat little event: for when boarding is implemented. Consists of a 'civilized' sector but devoid of any ships, and containing lots of wreckage, some of which is still intact but abandoned. You go to interact with it, and you just hear a warning being broadcasted over and over to get away. You, being an opportunistic scavenger, happily disregard the information. You go closer. Suddenly a dreadnought belonging to the sector's old faction warps in and warns you to retreat or be obliterated along with the abandoned ship, as it contains a deadly pathogen which must not be allowed to spread. If you back off, you get a free fireworks display. If you don't, the dreadnought will either turn hostile or flee depending on your ship's relative strength. As soon as you dock with the ship, 'boarders' flood in one by one until you get out of range or are overtaken.
Outside of the event, quarantine sectors would be rich in resources and littered with filled cargo pods and abandoned wrecks, although you'd need to clear them with boarders/security.
Nebula sectors: technically they sort of exist in the game but these ones are different. Always have dense clouds of a reddish brown color, and more common toward the center of the map, these sectors tend to hold vast deposits of resources. Very rarely may contain a wrecked or abandoned dreadnought class ship. I don't mean a larger than normal wreck, I mean a giant monstrosity cut in half filling a solid 2% of the sector end to end kind of thing.
Utopia or glitterworld sectors: pretty self explanatory. Often the capitals of factions, these places tend to have absolutely massive stations that will likely dwarf anything a player could reasonably build, are patrolled by a large fleet, and probably filled with broken xsotan.
I will likely add to this list in the future. Thoughts?
