Ahh... much better.

So anyways, I was once looking for a Sol neighborhood map. My plan was to write a scenario about several Groups from Earth leaving the solar system. They would encounter stars at the correct stellar distances, etc. I even went to some of the web pages Online and decided what to put in which system.

Now I personally ascribe to the theory that earth-like planets are extremely rare. Many people would disagree, but anyway. Most planets would be low mineral gas giants, small ice planets, and deadly tiny rock planets. Remote mining would be big.

Survival would be very difficult. The various Groups should start the game fairly well armed, but open warfare at the start would devastate both of them. The United Nations should claim the homesystem as a neutral race, and demand the expatriate Groups stay out.

At any rate, like I said before, the local neighborhood star map that was posted really doesn't add much to the standard rule set for SE4.

It's cool to play because the author added lots of very interesting odds and ends. But in the end it's just a somewhat sparse quadrant with some funkly distances between some of the systems.

I'm sure some similar parts have been randomly generated at some time by SE4's random quadrant generator.
