Solar System Map

there seems to be a lot of empty space on the map, you could space the planets out a bit to fill that up, same borders, just a little more distance

Ok. I was planning on the Big Red Spot on Jupiter and skanska said Olympus Mons on Mars, but I think other than that, I'm just going to have to number most of it. "North Equatorial Region" or just "Sector J-3" or something. The abbreviations work pretty well because most of the planets start with different letters.

As for space, yeah. I'll probably have to rearrange most of it. Want it to be more linear so that it's clear which planets can attack which others.

So... are you doing the graphics for this, or should I?

I'm doing them. They're coming along a little slowly because I've gotten pretty busy all of a sudden, but I'm planning on getting the first official version up early next week.

I like the idea, it will be fun if you can give it a very mystical look. As for naming by sectors and stuff, that might be difficult if we still used the drop down bar system, but now with the clicking the map it shouldn't be a problem at all. Names are more of a formality.

In that case do I technically even need names? I mean, they're traditional sure, but it's hard to come up with any interesting ones. Or make them look good for that matter.

And yeah. What I'm trying to get is a kind of mystical/mysterious look.

you've got to have some kind of identification so there's a way to refer to specific points on the map at the very least

Good point. Never mind.

Mainly names are for the log I suppose.

I know this is old but what if we made it so that after each turn the planets move a little. So that they attack different places. I don't mean just for this map, we could make a lot of maps that move each turn!

Does anybody like my idea? I just thought up another one didn't somebody suggest a pirate islands/ships map we could make the ships move and even give the owner of the ship control of which area it could go to.

Wow neat idea, I'd have to think about it for a while. But it would really change the game.

I think that it would be amazing. I would like to do one of the Mediterranean and surrounding land then we could add some islands and ships to the sea. What happened to this map anyway is anybody allowed to finish it? Is the guy that came up with it even on the site?

he hasn't logged in i well over a year. this map didn't look very promising. looked low quality to me.

your idea about moving territories is interesting. Teck would definitely have to write a lot of new code for it though because I know for sure we couldn't add a map like that now with our current system. It would be pretty low on the priority list.. at least a year out. And that's only if this idea gets a lot of support.

Are you allowed to make something similar too the map with out permission?
