Starmaps are also known as Nodemaps.

More than just an offical node map. If you FRED at all you should have this.

I had this on my HD once, but I erased it since it showed nothing new for me. The nodemap it has is truly the only official one. [V] used it for FS1, but it is not hard to figure out where the new systems are. I mean new systems as the ones which were discovered after FS1.

Post by: StratComm on July 28, 2004, 02:41:53 pm: I don't think there were any new ones added really, at least none that were important to the story. The unlabled systems are Epsilon Pegesi (4 nodes) and Gamma Draconis.
Title: Star Map
Post by: TopAce on July 28, 2004, 02:44:02 pm: Gamma Draconis was discovered after the Great War.

Post by: karajorma on July 28, 2004, 02:44:10 pm: What in the name of Santa's Hairy Ballsack are you on about? The node map is the one from FS2 not FS1 and as far as I can see isn't missing a single star system from FS2.

Although two are unlabled.

Post by: Ford Prefect on July 28, 2004, 02:49:46 pm: Admiral Petrarch implies that the first visit to Gamma Draconis took place 15 years before the second Shivan invasion, when the GTC Erikson was on a scientific survey. Whether that's when system was discovered, I don't know.
Title: Star Map
Post by: Mr. Vega on July 28, 2004, 03:28:48 pm: Both of you are wrong; Petrarch stated that the Gamma Draconis was "...discovered shortly before the outbreak of the Great War...The GTSC Erikson visited the system 15 years ago and reported nothing out of the ordinary..."

Oh you know what I mean.

Anyway, I think they ought to use systems like Gamma Draconis as garbage dumps. Plenty of space.

Post by: redsniper on July 28, 2004, 11:39:43 pm: it would be expensive to get the garbage there in the first place.

Nah, that's what stars are for - nice big incenerators. Or black holes.
