Solar Vicinity beta v0.8
I have completed a beta Version of my Solar Vicinity map. This map features a complete model of the Solar System, as well as real stars around Sol. Included are well-known stars as Tau Ceti, Altair, Sirius, Procyon, and more, all in positions relative to currently available starmaps. The map, however, is not 100% accurate as no 2-d model of 3-d space can be.
Some systems on the map (Such as the Gabaldon Nebula and the Taberne system) do not exist in real life. I simply added these out of creativity and to make the map more interesting.
It's still a beta Version because it needs more testing. From what I've tested so far it's great, but there may be balance issues. If possible, I'd like to release it as is and get feed back on it, but I'm not sure where/how to upload it. As I am somewhat new to this game and the community, this is the first thing I've produced for this game that I want to release to the public.
Could someone help me out and give me some tips on how to release my map?

Re: Solar Vicinity beta v0.8
Go to this post in the New Scenario/Mod Forum. Post a new reply, and there will be a link on the left side of the page to upload your file. Don't forget the file name the upload form gives you! Paste the link back into your post here, and voila! we can d/l your map! Looking forward to seeing it, btw.

Re: Solar Vicinity beta v0.8
Not to be picky, but you can also link directly to the file in this thread, i.e. like this. You can also edit the text displayed in your link.
[ URL=http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1022481426.zip] like this[/url]
The text in bold is displayed as the link in the thread.

Re: Solar Vicinity beta v0.8
OTOH, links that use the URL tag don't indicate that they are links until you move the pointer over them. (At least, they don't in my browser, on these Boards.)
Something that starts with http:// will be obvious as a link, whether you actually tag it as an URL or not.
