Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
If you will remake the star chart, can you keep the same system names, just re-arranged?
naysayers will be shot

Here is a good star chart to utilize for study.

Novian space can be somewhere around the galactic rim, slowly working its way to the core.

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
It's not going to be based on any real star chart. It'll probably end up something more like Meta1 and 2 node maps than what HM did (though once the nodemap is done, it should be easily modified). The individual system names within factions shouldn't change.
A possibility for the Darkness scout: The fleet's initial directive was to lay low and build up while scouting the area, but then were stumbled upon by a Nova or Nirvana scout and had their cover blown. The scout fled, the Darkness followed them (underestimating the Nova/Nirvana), ran into Nova/Nirvana territory and ended up stuck in a war with them leading to their defeat.

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
( o. O) I suppose I could make one if no-one else does? Of course, provide the base and icons too so that anyone can edit it.

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
Exactly how I would do it. With just icons provided for anyone to edit. You know, transparent .png images that can be just dragged over and le volla! or... is it.. WOlla.... no. .vo... ( u. u) nevermind...
( o. o)o But yeah!

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
you can actually use paint.net because the ellipse tool can be edited to have a transparent circle without hampering the border

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
The way I would have done it, it would have looked something like the Meta1/2 node maps. See: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=5101
As it is now, I, uh, haven't started. I was also planning to move the Darkness scout to the other side of the Nova/Nirvana (to the 'east', though they were going to be defeated by the GTNA before the Ratai arrived)

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
Lol. I was about to say the same. I would use the original blank one found on first page.
Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
I started to create a blank one with the planet names, but I never got around to it. It has about a third the planets named.

Re: Someone knows how to make a star chart?
( o. o)/ Right. Want to continue, or handle it to someone else / let someone else make one?
