As far as I remember, it is on the

centre grid line for the west gate, on an expanded sector display (Press 'End')
I hope that makes sense.

This gate took me nearly 2 hours to find.

Essentially - when you jump in to Maelstrom - stop the ship and turn to face about 2 inches up from the "-x" on the left side of the map.

Head straight on and eventually you should bump into it - its *quite* far to the west.

I got lucky and found a goner who was headed to the north gate from the west gate and I used him as a reference point with which to aim my ship.

The path I mentioned is the path that goner showed me more or less.

I dont have coords though, sorry.

If you still have a hard time - sit near the N gate and turn on SETA for a bit - and pray for a goner to come by ;) (Ive seen a handful of goners coming to and from that west gate - so they do show up - just takes them a bit)

If you are looking for what I think you are, don't bother, I have already nicked it. :P

this helps, but the two inches thing will be realtive to your screen resolution and monitor size. something more specific would help :wink:

Pretty sure the coordinates are -181,0,0
The gate after that is harder (to the 2nd unknown sector) -36,0,-60

Just head to the middle of the map - use ecliptic projector. Then Head west - keep going till you find the gate - simple - took me 5 mins.
