The Galatic Map project.

Currently the East and North Quadrants have been laid out.

I'd place it in mid alpha stage (for those of you who know about software developement.)

If you're on a modem, its going to hurt. I'm working on that.

Suggestions? I will be re-aliging some planets to better correspond with hyperspace routes.

[Lord Gue]

Anyone happen to know what sector Nirauan is in?

[ReaperFett]

Columbia? :)

Good, but some of the next is hard to read

[Lorcan Clucas]

At last a reliable source! Keep up the great work! :)

[Lord Gue]

yes, great job, btw your black line slips up in the corporate sectors region

[Nichos Marr]

Great. Suggestion: The Hapes Consortium is not all the way near the Galactic boundaries.

[Nichos Marr]

But I like the clickable sections. You even got Salliche near the Deep Core, good job :)

[Gav Mortis]

Oi! Nichos - gerron AIM boy!!!

Or I'll have your guts for garters! :verymad




Please? :p

[TheHolo.Net]

Nice stuff. :D

[Khan Surak]

:D FINALLY!! I've been pushing forever for a new map. :) Several things, though:

1. The Map is upside down vs. Official SWGamer Map

2. I'm not sure if you used this (http://www.lowlight.com/swmap/) as a base, but they are very much alike in that it has an insane amount of planets and systems, and unfortunately is somewhat inaccurate.

3. This constitutes #2 as well, I suggest we decide on a true, official, base for the map. Like, say, the map in the NJO books. Those are accurate, just not as specific and not as many sectors/planets.

(I thought Vis was on the job?)

[Morgan Evanar]

Its primarily based on the information from the SW Nav computer ( http://www.lowlight.com/swmap/ ).

Very useful, but not very good for getting idea of where things are.

[Lady Vader]

Very good work, Morg. :)

Reminds me of another map site, but yours is far prettier. :)

[Lord Gue]

i think vsc was on it for group related maps, a map showing specific planetary positions would be so EXTREMEly helpful

[Morgan Evanar]

I didn't like Visc's map at all... and I've yet to find a good picture of the NJO map. If you can find one, I'd be happy to update it according to that.

I left some stuff in from the lowlight campaing crud, I'll remove it. Like I said, still in heavy dev.

Keep your eye on that :)

[Khan Surak]

These might help...

Ahh, that's the stuff Khan :)

[Khan Surak]

Yesh! :D

[Lord Gue]

crappy as they may be, those two maps are the ones ive been going off of for a while now

[Morgan Evanar]

Now I add detail!

Those should be moderately useful. While pleasantly artistic and all...

Its very difficult to read in some ways. I think... for my next trick, I'll merge the two.

Going to take a while, but I have hopes it will be the most useful SW map on teh intraweb.

[Lord Gue]

well, its my assumption that Nirauan isnt in the north or east

[Morgan Evanar]

Ok... I've been trying to make that NJO map more legible. I think I've succeeded... but its now ugly.

I'm going to chop it up into sectors soon as I figure out how best to do so.

Yes, that means the nifty detail will be there when I'm done.

Here's alpha .3 of the NJO map:

[Lord Gue]

woah, ill just wait till alpha 4 to comment, i got no idea what'll look like combined

[Master Yoghurt]

You might find these two helpful when building a map:

[Nathan West]

Thanks Yog, already got Lowlight's SW Nav Computer. I've discovered it isn't very accurate, but I still think I'll glean useful stuff from it.

I'm waiting for the other site to load now.

Click on "Planet Guide" to check what planets are at which system/sector. You might also find the chart for traveling distances useful.
