Todays update (first image updated)

One of the biggest pains in making this map is adding unique planet images, so I got it all out of the way..

ALL Planets have been added to all systems!!!!

Added that unique double planet orbit to 5th orbit of Georgia.

Added a missing orbit to the mini system in Kalidasa (Penglai)

I still have to name them all and add moons to Georgia and Kalidasa and the outside two orbits of the Red Sun System.

I gave all gas giants a slight glow to differentiate them from normal planets. (and made sure there all in the correct locations)

Update 2: Red Sun System is done!
Update 3: Fixed text color for two outside orbit systems in Red Sun System (opps)
Update 4: Named all stars, Improved the save quality (should not look so "J-peggy" now).. Fixed a error in White Sun System where I had a moon with same name as planet..

3 down, 2 to go...

Georgia System Completed! (First post image updated)
Cleaned up overall image allot. Should look really clear, even for a jpg!

One system left, should be able to finish last system tomorrow, But its the largest one

Small correction. You've named one of Liann Juin's moons Liann Juin.

It's looking fantastic. It's nice to see someone obsessing about the Verse.

Thanks! Fixed! Also fixed all Blue System text to be clearer (I messed it up when I cleaned up the image)

Yeah obsessing is what I'm doing, having recently discovered the "Verse" and having allot of time on my hands ATM, It gives me something to do (I'm on a medical leave from my work, so have allot of time on my hands

)

BTW, Its basically 100% based off the "Arc of the Verse" though the "Verse in Numbers" is a great guide, it doesn't fit into what I'm building..

This map is basically the ARC in graphical form. I'll probably name it as such.

PS.. Updated first image

EDIT: Actually, see image (top right corner, uploaded again) as this work is based almost fully on the ARC of the Verse, it would not be fair to not mention as much, I also posted a link to the ARC in the image.

All Systems Completed!!!!!

Please look closely at all planets/systems/moons etc and PLEASE post any errors..

Note look at Sigma Six.. is that correct? its look? Its posted as a asteroid cluster..

Let me know what you think...

I only have to add ships around the place (in fleet locations) and create the mini-systems showing there actual locations..

Please also post any additions you would like to see.. like maybe asteroid orbits and such..

Also If you would like a specific background added let me know..

Edit: If anyone knows or has suggestions on where Alliance fleets would be located at, please post your ideas..

I have updated the second post to show a background image.. don't worry I wont update it again (as every time I do the cashe on your computer is updated, but once loaded, its there)

I uploaded that image to show how cool a background can look. But its compressed big time to reduce its size, the oriiginal looks allot better. The image is full size.. (right click open in new window/tab)

NOTE: I'm not done with the map yet, I still have to add the mini system images to show actual locations of the systems!

Funny, I keep thinking of it as the CNC (Celestial Navigation Chart of the Verse).

Looking at how the border (teal) and rim (red) worlds are colour-coded; it might be best to find another colour for the core worlds other than white.

It can be hard to tell at a glance which are core worlds and which are uninhabited and/or being terraformed.

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

First image updated, I added the system locations.. After thinking about it, I didnt see the point in actually creating mini systems, I simply added the stars (you'll see)

The planets that are the core are in white, if there being terraformed they will have a (*) by there name and if they cant be terraformed they will have a (x) by there name. But I guess I could change the color (lot of work though lol)

Hey thats pretty good, can I steal that

EDIT: Opps I put Kalidasa in wrong orbit.. Have to fix that. "FIXED"

If anyone wants the 10 meg .tiff of the map in its current state as of this post, here it is:
*EDIT* See First Post

Actually I have a solution, I'll change the color of the text for the terraformed Info in the legend

EDIT: Updated first post image with both ideas, Yellowjackets cool new name and changed the terraformed text color :)

I also updated the .tiff link above with new version :)

Its pretty much done short of plucking down ships here and there..

EDIT/UPDATE
Added one of each of the private and alliance ships to the map, added link to .tiff file in first post as well.. Its done unless you guys want more ships or want a background or something else added.

Changed name of the thread to "Celestial Navigation Chart of the Verse"

Thanks for all the help and support, let me know if you want anything added, Enjoy!
