I think it would be easier if some kind of star map was made.

Really big.

So people could pop out of nowhere in uncharted territories.

...

Also, I have no idea what a star map would look like. I'm a wannabe geek xD

Hey, we're not geeks! Or most of us, at least. We just have... slightly different interests.

A star map would basically look like any other map, with the territories and stuff. However, we could make it all more complicated and go 3D on you, and have this sphere with all the data in it. Would take a helluva lot more time, though. Not as easy to use, either.

All new fleets will need to be created due to the game rules.

A map is already being worked on.

God, that expression on his face...

Anyway, if you're going to do a star map, let me know. I'd want to help out. Use my m4d m4pp1ing skillz on you.

Sorry about the l33t, I just can't help myself sometimes.

We're going for a simple map, so none of this 3d business or overcomplicated graphics. Ease of use and interpretation is the focus.

That star map is from the perspective of Earth, the constellation. In reality the stars are on similar lines, they're just spread out in various distances from each other.

An EXAMPLE map - NOT THE OFFICIAL ONE - looks like this so far:

This map is presented in topdown format with natural wormholes providing the links between systems.

The OFFICIAL map will be SIMILAR to this. This is NOT the official map.

I'm just making things very clear for those who aren't so good at the "reading" thing.

Wait (and this is a serious question), if you're making a star map already, does that mean you already have a roster of participants? Because I wanna be in it, just so you know.

Sorry if I'm being a nuisance, just wanna make sure.

When Arcalane has finished the story/rules/ect(and have an official name). I'll start the roster thread. Ca-pesh. :wink:
By the way, I got permission:

Yes, one purely for fleet roster and download link, no comments, no criticisms, nothing. If th15 made it a sticky that would help. 

One purely for RPing/moves. 

And also one (or two) for comments and rules. 

If people want their own info/bio threads than that's their own responsibility, so long as a basic knowledge of the faction is known by everyone.

Okay, thanks. I'll be quiet now.

Although I'm still rooting for Assault on System 13...

NEVER MIND. What I posted was the template. What you have will look very very similar.
