And yet, more progress!

[Grug]

Told yah so.

The jaggys are gones!

Perfect!

Is that, according to Grug, a full 3D map? Did you make it to scale in FRED?

[Grug]

Yup, he made it in 3ds Max.
He's currently adding in all the other planets etc I believe. Until he goes mad that is.

Mighty effort by Raa.

[Taristin]

It is fully 3d. In 3d Studio max. And it's going nowhere near Fred.

[Grug]

Once you've finished slaving away on it, I don't suppose you'd offer up the 3ds max file... ^_^

[Charismatic]

Great work Raa.

[TopAce]

I thought there was a subspace tunnel between Vasuda and Beta Aquilae.

[EDIT] Never mind, I missed Vasuda with Vega.

Now here's a challenge:

Make it so the real systems are in their proper position relative to one another.

[Taristin]

Or... you can make your own...

Two reasons why I won't:

1)  Why should I do it if I can get some sucker, er, someone else to do it?

2)  I can't.  I have no skills in that department at all.  I weep at the lack.

[Eishtmo]

Wow, a double, haven't done that in, um, well I can't remember.

[FireCrack]

What's the "real" vasuda again?

[Taristin]

Beta Hydri?

[FireCrack]

I'm personaly inclined to say beta cygni...

Except there already IS a Beta Cygni system, in addition to Vasuda.

Actually, that's kind of why I want it made.  There's a slight difference between the FS1 map and the FS2 maps, and I think it might be possible to use some geometry to actually locate where in the sky Vasuda should be.  From there, we just need to locate a yellow star in that range and boom, Vasuda.

Well, maybe.  Hard to say for sure if it's possible.

hmmm....

has anyone considered that canon is done and over with?
and that the folks here, since they all like freespace so much. could actually continue in the canon vein and further the work started by the creators of this universe?  why could new stuff not be brought into canon?

i would suggest a board of the most dedicated folks that vote on additions to the universe...  approval then makes them canon and "official".  needs to be an odd number of people so there are no ties, these folks need to be community members that can be objective, and would take time to review the submitted material.

yes, there are lots of reasons it would not work...but how about some ways to make it work???  face it, this universe will not be expanded upon any more...and there is no reason it should not be.

[Hippo]

because then opinion becomes canon, and canon as we define it is fact that is proveable with elements of the game. Not speculateable with, proveablewith.
