Map (http://images1.filecloud.com/124476/7IIGalaxyMap.gif)

This was the last update I got from the previous thread by Green Sun (I believe). I would like to have it updated, as there are many new FT nations springing up and it would be nice to have the knowledge of where everyone is to each other.

edit- I'll be taking over the updating of it for the moment because Green Sun doesn't. I'll try updating the link/image after each entry or group of entries, depending on how many I get within a period of time.

edit2- Thanks to some help, we have view of the galaxy map, top-down perspective. Since it shows positions better, we shall replace the previous map with it.

Where is 27 and 0?

I would say he means this:

Halfway between 0 degrees and 270 degrees (the galaxy is divided into 0/90/180/270 degree sections on the map if you look closely).

Almost certain of it, actually.

I also assumed so, but was trying to make sure I put it right.

Up, down, left, right from Azaha? I say that because that nation is pretty much where I think you wanted to set yourself.

Now, the following image shows the location of the Ulysses system, the Nimas Tenae system, and the Sol system. Since my civil war the Ulysses system has become my capitol, so please mark where it's arrow is as "Einhauser." Do not place the other systems on, please.

HERE (http://esusalliance.co.uk/upload/GalMap03.JPG) is a map I created a while back for another project that does a good job of illustrating the location of the Kanuckistani Home Cluster.

Specifically, it is located approximately 5000 light years beyond the Rim, directly opposite the core from Sol.




If you want a link to the source map I used, I can dig up a link upon request.

You placed me way too close; it's suposed to be 5000 lightyears beyond the rim, afterall.


Based on your map's scale, and the aparent verticle compression resulting from the galactic plain laying on an angle relative to the camera perspective, I'd place the Home Cluster just below the 0º marker.

That's one of the reasons I like the map I use; being a direct top-down view rather than an angled perspective, it's alot easier to gauge distances.

Well, I transcribed the map by rotating the original, horizontally stretching it 400%, and then eyeballing it and trying to place the dots on the corisponding part of the galaxy.

As is, one pixel is roughly 110 lightyears on the big map(yes, I counted), so, uh, yeah...

By the way, when you repositioned me, you moved me too close to the rim; the distance should be 5000 lightyears, or roughly 45 pixels. As is, the plotted position is only, oh, call it 3000 lightyears out.

OOC: Um...unless your societ experienced no age with radio, satelites, or other transmissions, and currently implores some form of radical stealth that can cover an entire civilized, advanced civilization's planet, then you may be able to hide your homeworld. Otherwise, all someone has to do is point a tellescope in your direction, and pick up millenia-old radio broadcasts. Or, have a scoutship graze past the system and notice the copious amounts of energy, light, and ships moving too and fro through your planet.

But, whatever, just pointing that out.

Well, you see, about the age-old transmissions, our people have been using quantum-entanglement-based communications since our progenitors, the Ancestors, settled in that region of space some 7-8 millennia ago...

So no, no residual transmissions are emanating from our space.

As for scoutships, Neo-Mekanta has been trying for hundreds of years to find me, so far to no avail. The closest anyone has gotten to our homeworld would be the nation of the Gaian Ascendancy, when one of their scoutfleets headed into our space after passing through the Thorn/Kaluza system. They never stumbled across our worlds, however.

Secondly, as Kanuckistan mentioned, no one really searches for us, and since we actively and passively patrol a rather large buffer zone of space, no one really gets close. And, as for observing light and monitoring energy, that would require the energy reaching the observer. Which it doesn't. We've mastered enough of spacial technology to ensure that.

Ok well anyway, just because you are on the map doesn't mean everyone knows where you are. This map is oocly. Now if you meet someone icly and exchange locations, which I understand you wouldn't, then you would know where they are and they would know where you are. This map just keeps track of where everyone is.

Unless I am mistaken that is what this map is for.

No idea. I like your idea, however.

Tidan, can you put a dot between yourself and Nageroth, north of Arizona Nova, and in the center of the Sagittarius arm near where it sort of merges with the Perseus arm, and label it

Unsere Hoffnung (GZ)

Please? It's a colony I established some time ago, but the puppet died. Now I just consider it a holding of GZ. I'd said it was on the other side of the galaxy, and now I have an idea of its location.

I don't think we are putting colonies or any other form of holdings on the map. Just capitals.

However, I'll defer to DC or Green Sun on this if they say otherwise, since they are the ones who were doing this before me. That said, you are free to add it yourself to display in your factbook, or webpage, or nswiki if you like.

I've told SeaQuest that being in the center was a bad idea almost a year ago... not because of the black hole thing, I forgot about that, but because the star cluster is so dense the space around his worlds would be in an almost plasma state.

That is another thing that is hard to figure out. Should we do a roll call to see which of the nations listed are around anymore?

edit-should I just remake this thread? That way I can change the blasted title and there wouldn't be a dozen pages to sift through in the begining.

I actually explained what my MWG holdings are for in the other thread. Protection of the wormhole (which I don't use much) leading to my home galaxy.

Of course, its location does add some natural protection.
