Regarding the map, I expect that there will be one more sector in the Sea of Clouds after SC11 - the island group in the upper left. I expect that, after that sector, we're going to find sectors in the Churning Mists next. There are five island groups with a different color background on the map (CM01-CM05?), plus the weird swirl thing (CM06? Something else?). Then, I expect the last two island groups in the upper right will be sectors in Azys Lla (AL01-AL02?). I wonder what happens after we fill out the map? Will they add on a new map for sectors released later, or will there not be more sectors later?

If I'm right about the number of sectors remaining, that's 20 total. Following the required rank progression pattern (and the star rating progression pattern and CB cost progression pattern), these would have the following requirements:
  • SC12: 34 (4*, 4 CBs)
  • CM01: 37 (4*, 4 CBs)
  • CM02: 40 (4*, 5 CBs)
  • CM03: 44 (5*, 5 CBs)
  • CM04: 47 (5*, 5 CBs)
  • CM05: 50 (5*, 6 CBs)
  • Swirl: 54 (6*, 6 CBs)
  • AL01: 57 (6*, 6 CBs)
  • AL02: 60 (6*, 7 CBs)

This seems plausible because 60 is a nice, round number. However, at 60, you couldn't even have a fully Odyssey. The best you could do is 3x Odyssey and 1x Invincible, or 1x Tatanora, 2x Odyssey, and 1x Bronco. Or, for the most balanced ship you could do, 3x Invincible II, 1x Odyssey.


If we're right about the proximity thing, it looks like sector SC12 is unlocked from SC11. I kinda think that CM01 would be unlocked from SC09, but I could be wrong. Plenty of people have gone to 09 and not unlocked it, but it looks like the clostest island to the closest island in the next set of islands.

Of course, I could totally be wrong. I mean, sector SC09 isn't at a visible island, though all the rest are. Who knows? Maybe there are more islands hidden in the mists?
