But we still don't know where this links to the official FS2 node map.

It links to Icefire's map. And it's not "Nads", it's "Naos".

if you think YOU have a non-real looking starmap then you should look at mine! everything apart form Sol is made up!
names like:
Girson
Riker
Kinder
Tommel
and stuff!

 Yea it should look beefier and older maybe, like older design and technology like it was made say 500 years before the Knossos.

Who would LIVE in the "Nads" system, anyhow?

Maybe it would be better if you found "real-life" star names and used those instead. I never really cared for made-up star names (Vasuda being an obvious exception).    

There may be no individual star called 'Draconis', but there is always the Draco system, made up of Thuban, Rastaban, Eltanin, Nodus Secundus and Giausar (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Lambda Draconis, respectively). As for the Ross system, I'd say that was a military designation, not a named system.

For a rather nice list of stars and the constellations they belong to, as well as their system names (as opposed to their stellar names), try this handy page.

As a side note, I think someone mentioned that the system was 'Naos', which would be Zeta Puppis.

sorry...I'll try to get back on topic...

Ok...My idea is that you don't have rotating sections, before you all cry out in horror, listen. If you don't have rotating sections, then you can build it in an ancient looking way (old, not the race), and then just stick ships into the side, instant hybrid! You could make some simple details to stick around the base of it, and mebby have...um...I just forgot...

sorry, total mind blank, but I think you get the gist...
