:Well, then give a solution to the problem; how would you direct those players to this page without providing spoilers to those who don't want to be spoiled about the existence of QuasiSpace, while providing enough information in the link on what the link target is about to those who do want to know? — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 18:03, 18 March 2007 (CET)

How is this page spoiler-free? It's one big spoiler. The only thing left out is the name QuasiSpace, which is the one thing which doesn't help you along in the game. — SvdB 09:35, 18 March 2007 (CET)

meep-eep: It is spoiler-free. The original table with the "green-red endpoints" was ridden with alien race names and so on. This one only presents information that you can easily find out when you reach that certain dimension. And it doesn't say how to get there. 86.35.40.204 14:42, 18 March 2007 (CET)

I'm going to have to agree with SvdB on this one. Something that is spoiler free should only contain information that a player has when starting the game for the first time, ie information found in the manual (and other material like the HyperSpace Starmap) and when looking at the in-game starmap for the first time. This list fails on that criterion. The surprise of going through a q-portal for the first time was not knowing were you'd end up, and this list ruins those surprises, imho - hence, it's again spoiler info. --Fyzixfighter 15:40, 18 March 2007 (CET)

Well then, we should call it a "semi-spoiler". 86.35.40.204 16:00, 18 March 2007 (CET)

I think we should delete this page. I don't see how you can point anyone to this page without spoiling something. Even if you create a list of "semi-spoilers" (I'd call them "hints"), you'd see the topics of the other semi-spoilers/hints, spoiling things the player may not want to know about. — SvdB 16:47, 18 March 2007 (CET)
