Well, the T-V war was supposed to be about 14 years long by the time the Great War started, no? If you want to make a mod for the Port, having an idea of "who-owns-what" may be pretty important.

However, I'd like to assume by FS2 it didn't matter as much as, hopefully, the Terrans and Vasudans would be more integrated as a society. Or... something like that.

Oh I know it's important to people here. I think wasn't concerned with who had what system so they didn't bother working on it.

Come to think of it, I feel like there was a command briefing .ani in the first mission or two of FS1 that showed the general breakdown of Terran, Vasudan, and contested systems.  Now those briefing animations unfortunately weren't labeled, but if the general system layout matches that of the official FS1 node map, you'd presumably be able to match them up.

From the FS1 command briefing ani (starmap 2 I think), right before the purple wave of destruction hits.

[Woolie Wool]

There's so little labeling that the ANIs are all but useless.

[headdie]

from what i can see sol and vasuda have 1 or 2 system between them depending on node layout

[edit to add image]

here is a map i have compiled from swashmebuckle's images

[Eishtmo]

I remapped the nodes.  Here:



Red is Vasudan, green Terran, Yellow contested.  This represents who CONTROLS the system as the Shivans started their rampage, who was settled where is never expliciatly stated.

That said, Regulus became the core of one of the GTA's fragements, so we can figure that system had a sizable Terran population and was under Vasudan control at the time.  After that, one can only guess.

If you can "validate" that map to a good degree or get general approval for it, it would probably be a good idea to post it on FS mods. If it can be arguable as bearing some degree of accuracy, campaign designers might find it highly useful in the future.

I find the map illogical. The contested systems should be on the T-V border, not way off across the map from either of them. Pakistan and India fight over regions on their border, not in southwestern China.

If you'll actually look at the node network, you'll notice that is the border. The reason all those other systems besides Vega/Antares are contested is because of the Vasudan backpath to them via Regulus.

Thaeris, headdie and swashmebuckle just did that, I had compiled that map from what they just worked on.  Only odd one is that Alpha Centuari is listed as Terran in the AVIs, but given the node network, that's unlikely (and illogical).

Those systems are all on the border.

That map is really great, makes sense to me. 

[Black Wolf]

Adhara also definitely became a Terran system. Also, Woolie Wool, there's no Procyon-Vega node, so you might need to edit your map a touch.

Perhaps a reason for their hatred of Vasudans.

[Thaeris]

There's some potential for great fiction in that statement, Snail.
