Playing my first 2.2 game and one thing I'm really liking is no more forced sectors-I like my micro. But I've found one large issuse-I won a war against my xeno scum neighbor, took his strategic resource systems and one of his planets. I want this planet to be a buffer between us so I create a vassal. I had noticed earlier that I could define my sector systems earlier but I thought maybe when creating a vassal there would be a system. Nope-now I have a vassal with my strategic resources and I have two isolated systems that are cut off from my home space and are bordering my angry deafeted enemy. I would really like to see-maybe not even with your own sectors-but I create a vassal from a strategic purpose I really need to and should be able to define what systems my vassal will get.
