Map for Star Trek Mod

as a fellow map maker... All I got to say is that, that is one nice map. Works great with the mod.

I am going to use it in a future game....

Don't worry we will push aaron on sev and the map making ability.

As to me it is just as important as creating ships and mods.

It's too bad that the map editor is such a PITA to use. I'm suprised that you've had the patience to go this far!

So, are you all suggesting that I continue working on the map? I wasn't sure people would want to play in a fixed environment but if so, I will improve it significantly.

Thanks for the comments!

If you've been playing it, can you tell me about the game... who you played, first contact, high score, etc.

Thanks, it will help me balance the map a little!

Did you put the Starting Locations in any particular order, or is it more or less random?

Howdy,I don't post much, but this map-creation thread reminded me that I have an ongoing problem: the Map Editor crashes and gives me an address allocation fault almost every time I try to do a Large quadrant map, be it in the standard, DevNull, or Atrocities mod. I have the "maxnumber of systems" set to 250 in all three mods paths (in settings.txt), and I use the Mod Launcher to launch the Map Editor. I don't usually get a crash when do a medium or small quadrant. It is also my sense, not yet confirmed, that I get more crashes when I make FQM quadrants rather than standard ones. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Oh, also, when I place sphereworld or ringworlds in a map that I am making, how dothey appear in the game? Are they just "uninhabited" planets?

Sorry for all the map making questions. I am new to making maps, but not to SEIV, and I want to start a PBW game based on Tom Harlan's "Time of the Sixth Sun" series. To do so requires a fair bit of map-making...

Thanks,

Alarik

Jonesing hard for the PBW site to get back up...
