Narf: Read the rest of the thread. Even in ST and SW, and even HHGTTG (oh I forgot you haven't read those. SACRILEGE!!!!!) travel between systems takes absurdly long. In HHGTTG, the fastest hitchhike from the one side of the galaxy to the other took five years - and that was as fast as possible. In SW, I don't know exactly, but it also takes quite some time. In ST, even travel between some systems placed far between can take two months. I believe that you would need several months of continuous Warp 9 travel to get from one side of the Federation to the other, and remember Voyager? 70000 lightyears... I believe it was 60 or 70 years (could also be 35). And since this galaxy is 100000 lightyears in diaeter, well...
I did in fact read the rest of the thread. I am well aware of general sci-fi starship travel times. I simply thought it would be fun to have the ships move fast.

OMFG! Simply in awe.

I remember trying to stack the planets in one sector. Have a star followed by planets, with moons. I had to do it in the map editor and ever really got it too look right. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif My hat is off to you Geo, this is impressive, but is it really practicle? I mean 2 hour turns, come on man!

I've got one of these loaded into an STM game, what a blast!

No such thing as too many planets.

Nice work!

Wow, I like these new systems. We can even have binary and trinary clusters, with two or three stars in the center of each group of planets.

First, I would like to point out to new members that THAT image is not the quality of the game. Believe me the planets look a lot better than that.

Secondly wouldn't it be nice if each planet were its own star system? Like I said before I tried that but could only do it with the map editor. And could never get it too look right.

Each system map became a region with 12 seprate systems in each region. 8 regions to a quadrant, 4 quadrants to a galaxy, 12 galaxies to a star map.
