Okay, this sort of popped into my head a few days ago.  Its impossible to make a single comprehensive map because of people have different ones, but I think it would be nice to have an archive of as many FreeSpace nodemaps as possible.

If your all interested, can you post your maps here, tell me who made them, what the map is for, what campaign(s) its affiliated with and so on.

I'll try and post them on a page at FSW as fast as they come.  Or alternatively, a HLP webmaster could do the same thing.

Umm, sure, why not...

This is the node map I created from  's. I wanted to clean up the map so that lines wouldn't over lap and you can see the routes more clearly (like the four "big loops"):

 

This is the one for my campaign: Revelations. I started with the above map, and, going on the thought that Shivans had other reasons for destroying Capella than us, thought that they did it to alter nodes (which, my idea of how nodes intertwine is kinda like a spider web, but more complex where, because stars are in motion around the galaxy, nodes can last for thousands of years until shifting and changing as the stars move and grow and die)... but all of that is another topic  , so here is my campaign map:

Interesting.

I just use the normal one for all of my missions; it seems to have enough systems for me...

joek, sounds similar to my subspace philosophy as well.

Keep those maps a coming!

I took your map in the for this one a while ago and fixed it and added my own systems

Uh, sandwich, the link is STILL down...

And I still don't know how to use the file... What's up with that?

[Grey Wolf]

Click on this: http://www.geocities.com/sandvich/fs2/files/
Then click on the correct file.

[Su-tehp]

Ok, I dl'ed the 3d_nodemap.rar.zip and the nodemap_dxf.rar.zip files, but neither one will open, even after I remove the "zip" or "rar" from the file name.

2 questions:

1) What do I do now to open these files and see the maps?

and

2) What program do I need to open these files and will it cost me money to get these programs or can I DL them for free somewhere?

(Sorry for the brusque tone, I have exams soon and I'm stressing.)

okay im new to this particular forum. (im usualy moaning i mean looking for models on the mods forum.!)

This map was created using ideas from several maps ive seen incluing a few of my own.

Its going to be used for my campaign "Incidental warfare" (link in sig!)

 

ive purposely left a bit out (at bottom!) as im going to be using that in a future campaign!

Regards

Incidental Warfare
SO what did happen???

[Su-tehp]

Jon, when is that map used? 50 years from the end of FS2? You've at least DOUBLED the number of GTVA-claimed systems from the official Volition map!  

It would take DECADES for the GTVA to colonize that number of planets!

It's a nice looking map, to be sure, but GEEZ, there's no way this map could be used at any time less than 30-40 years from the end of FS2. NO WAY could the GTVA colonize that many planets in a shorter amount of time. It seems far more likely that many of those outlying planets would be unclaimed, as opposed to being GTVA colonies.

Remember, even after 32 years, the borders of Terran-Vasudan space didn't change much. Laramis wasn't even colonized during the story of FS1: The Great War (I remember this from a command briefing in FS1).

Aside from that, the map is very cool.

come on, you don't even know the plot, don't judge it like that. My campaign occurs 100 years after capella, maybe his own too?
