Ops, LOL, i wanted some of your inputs...

A) will anyone make a 'real' local map based on these for se4?
B) what do we need to do to get real 3d starmaps for se4? (other than wait for se5)
C) what do you all think of the real local stars around sol? i'm really kinda excited in one way... these are not all too far away...

hell, 5 or 10 LY can be done in 10 or 20 years with a half decent ion drive - going at .5 c speed is NOT that difficult for todays (or reasonably near term future) tech

so, its kinda exciting - i figure as soon as we get a decent fusion system going, we'll be off to the stars ... unmanned probes first of course... but with fusion engines, heck, there a LOT of stars within grasp

The closest 26 stars

i thought this might also help

Cirvol, you might want to start with this map here: Se4 Map. {link} Previously posted by someone else.

I've often thought of making a real stellar map of our corner of the milky way.

I played this one, and kinda lost interest. That's not to say this map isn't cool, it just doesn't add much to the game, that's all. Try this one and see.

And, ummm... could you edit your post so the pictures are smaller?

I love maps, the big one is beautiful. Sure gets the imagination going. So... Where there be monsters? or Pirates? The lines are "Worm Hole" routes right?
