What shape of quadrant would you like to see added to FQM?

A spiral with a dense center that has several radiating arms.

Here is my first attempt at a logarithmic spiral shape:

That's nice !

How about something more ala this:

The picture is from MoO3, but you get the idea. I.e., seperate arms. Not sure how hard that'll be to construct.

Wow, I like the logarithmic spiral quadrant.

I like the log spiral a lot, and I like the idea of a spiral arm quadrant too.

Your Logarithmic spiral looks great.

Is there any way to make the arms have more width as far as instead of only one star system width strings, maybe 3 or even 4 width star system arms? Similiar to MOO3 picture. Perhaps using 255 systems?

In addition to the spiral galaxy format what about a globular cluster that has a very dense core and the further one gets away from the center the more space between the stars.

Also anyway to set up a few warp lines that a very limited but stretch over great distances connecting one corner of the map to another for example.
