Universal Wiki

Post by Damon »

Heya.

Was going through my huge list of info I have on the space trading part of the game and I realized that I could, with some ease, come up with a series of wiki pages for some star systems. I've done a few to tinker around with the format. Here's a link. Let me know what you think:

Not bad, could use an accompanying picture of exactly where it is in the galaxy.

Yep. I am trying to figure out what would be the best way to do that. I was thinking of using the galactic map, but could also make an independent map based on the galactic map... which would just take up more time. ;)

I'm actually going to condense it a little bit, since some of the pages will get very long. I'm working on a new table that will incorporate a lot more info without so much scrolling.

You know, I do have a galaxy map just sitting around...although I'd need to clear some of the top secret information off of it before I could give it to you...and it isn't as squarish as the one you've already posted.

if somebody out there knew java, then a fully interactive, clickable galaxy map would be awesome.

I'm learning Java...although I'm not at the point where I have the slightest idea of how to do what you're suggesting...

Well, this is going to take quite a bit of time... longer than I had expected. It's a big galaxy ;)

I went ahead and uploaded my galaxy map. Hopefully, you can put it to good use.

It should help a little bit. I might be able to do some kind of.. thing.. with it. Just curious, what do all the lines represent? I recognize they're probably trade routes, but I didn't see a key to what each color means.

Lol, Look below the map...
...Lines indicate warp paths of various length. Cyan is under 4 parsec, green: 5 to 8, yellow: 9 to 24, orange: 25 to 40, red: 41 to 50. Purple represents jumps that utilize a stargate...
If you don't look for the image description, you'll never find it.
