Actually, I might just do that.

I once toyed around with the idea for a Mobile Suit Gundam mod, which I decided to work on at least an hour a week. In any event, thats how I more or less decided to do it. Each "system" would have been a Side(for you uninitiateds, that means a cluster of Space Colonies) and one System would be the Earth, and another the Moon.
Of course I hit a few snags. For one thing, I dont remember how many colonies are in a Side, I think it was like 40-60, and furthermore, I forget how many Sides there are. I know Side Three was farthest from the sun. Of course IIRC each Side was in one of the lagrange points.
In any event, back on subject, yeah this would be cool.
Jupiter should NOT be a Sphereworld, we are sticking to basic SEIV classifications really, so it should be a huge planet.
The idea, Zero, is to make a map that is a template for use in other maps, but not to make a map that can be used on its own.
Unless you want a Sudden Death one system map with only one planet of any real value! ^__^
