It seems nice, I'll tell you my opinion when it's downloaded, IN 3 MORE HOURS!!! :mad:

Sucks to have a 56k connection that bearly makes 40k, oh well, I'll leave it downloading and go do something else...

There's a bunch of mirrors. D/load this program. It'll speed up your d/loads a bit and autmomatically searches for any mirrors there are. It's also free (there are banner ads though :()

There are plenty of more suitable realtime engines for NW out there - 5th Sun, Stellar Frontier and SAIS to name a few...

A good point - I've got some mods for it and it seems incredibly easy to make a fully functioning system. We could have a 3D starmap of GTVA space within a month - complete with nodes (since any model can be put in there...).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

In relation to the first case you quoted, Eta Carinae is a real star, and of quite significance to astronomers at that. Omitting this star could be seen as quite an oversight.

A while ago I began developing a 3D node map for the Freespace universe, however it was in model form instead of a readily openable and browsable program. There were still a few gaps to fill concerning fictitious stars, but I'm sure something could've been worked out. At least someone else can now work on such a premise with relative ease.


*waits for the download queue to free up*

I suppose so. But no battles... not without some major changes, anyway. All the previous already support that. ;) But yes, for browsing, this would kick some m34t. :D

I finally managed to download the program. Very nice, pretty much has to be the best 3D map I've seen so far. Hopefully they'll make it easier to insert new stars and expand upon the (real) universe.

It's so good to look at the night sky from Pi Puppis, don't ask me why :)
