Default Re: custom maps ???

I would think that there are a few, probably affiliated with somebody's roleplaying race.

I started to make a map that would allow FTL as seen in StarTrek, Babylon 5, Starwars.
IE. move to the edge of the starsystem, and warp in whichever direction you feel like. It may take a few turns to reach your destination if it is far away or you have a slow ship.

It basically requires 100 warppoints per starsystem to do it properly, and that takes forever to custom build without a decent Copy-Paste option.

You will probably find more mods for new random quandrant types than you will find complete maps.

Hey, different is good, and random can be different every time!

-------------

As a note, I've finished:
16/16 hyperspace systems
180/180 hyperspace intraconnects.
0/1320 hyper-to-normalspace interconnections(24 per system * 55 systems)

As such, I estimate that I am 13% done.

The count includes both halves of a warppoint as separate entities, since I have to create them independently.
