Title: Map of the FS2 Universe?
Post by: StargateSpankyHam on February 17, 2012, 06:58:00 am: Is there a big honkin' map floating around anywhere on the site, laying out precisely what systems are connected to one another via jump nodes? It would be useful to know what systems are where when developing a post-capella campaign.

Also, is there any canonical information as to how heavily developed and colonized various star systems are at the end of the Capella Incursion?

Many thanks.

I really don't think that's the case. I designed my hi-res FS1 map after the FS1 retail anims, then I added the names first based on FS1 retail anims, then extrapolated based on location and node connections for the rest. It all lined up. Save the discrepancy with the Sol nodes and a few others with extra nodes.
