Re: Time to pass judgment
i honestly think someone should make a sort-of a fs2 bible thing, including a complete map (one that includes all the systems, including new ones like Tau Sigma and Talnia, etc).

It's called the FSWiki.

Re: Time to pass judgment
They're CURVED. So that means they look strange. Besides, we see the subspace corridor as a straigth tunnel.

Well, this is more to show links between systems than having a linear representation of a linear scifi phenomenon. Like I said, I tried to make it more clear what links to what, rather than having a gigantic web of tangliness.

EDIT: And on second thought, space-time is curved anyway. :D

Re: Time to pass judgment
I actually don't mind the curves, but maybe you could give them a white-ish core so they look more subspace-ey

Re: Time to pass judgment
While I'm sure the lines make sense, it would just plain look better if they were straight.

Could you overlay a semi-transparent grid over/under that? I'm curious as to how it would look.

I like it. It looks like a vasudan nodemap should. :)

Zoni delivers.



It actually doesn't look that bad. Good suggestion, IMO.

If you made this in Photoshop or something similar, I'd suggest putting the text above the grid.  Also, the spelling of Beta Aquilae is wrong, you've got an extra L in there.  Apart from that, bloody good work.

1. The text layer IS above the grid. Also, it was made in GIMP, in case you were wondering ;)
2. God damn it on the Beta Aquilae thing; I knew something was wrong. **recites page 1 of the curse word dictionary** :mad:
3. Aye, thanks mate!

Also, I'll be releasing a second version of this. Here are some of the changes I'll make:
1. Reduction of glare.
2. Improved text spacing and size, as well as a cooler text effect. It was kind of a last-minute get-it-done-and-be-done-and-stop-working-on-this-crazy-project kind of thing.
3. I'll be releasing it alongside an alternate one with straight nodes, just for you picky Terrans out there.
4. The size of the new image will be changed to 1280x800 to fit the desktop wallpaper of widescreen computer screens that are now more common, but you will be able to see everything if you simply center it on the 1024x768 res monitors.

Don't expect this all to be done overnight though, I have a new pile of homework that needs to be taken care of first. I'll see what I can do over the weekend.

Holy hell. That's the one I was going to base it off of, but couldn't find on the interwebs. O_o

And as for the other maps... they're very well done. I'm trying to keep this node map 100% canon, but I'm starting to consider pseudocanon stars as well.

BWO is a continuation of Derelict, right?
Then shouldn't there be a node between Tau Sigma and Regulus (or was it Sirius)? The one Nyarly opened?
