FALCON X-0N 3:21pm, October 19, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | Alright everybody, s some of you may know I'm making a nice map. Spurned by a boring physics class and jek's redoing of the city map, I've decided to label up a map on a much larger scale- -a sector map, and then some. This'll be three-Dee (yee-haw!) which means it'll be three graphs, each for the one axis. Its technically Starfleets starcharts, or sort of, so it'll go by those rules: 20x20x20 light year cube with Tattooine in the middle. I'm gonna give it a coordinate of 0,0,0 at the moment, right smack dab in the middle. Each grid on standard graphic paper will represent a light year distance. Eventually I'll expand it to encompass surrounding sectors (IE, most of Federation space is a sector or two over). So if anyone has space devices, areas, and the like, please post here. Keep in mind a few things: The closest star to earth is four light years away. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, and a light year is therefore 9.4 trillion kilometers. The distance from the Earth to the sun is about 149...million kilometers. So we're talking big here. If you have anything from outside the Tattoo Sector, give it over as well, but don't expect to see it this weekend. If you'd like to have coordinates, post them here, and I"ll try to edge you in and all. I'm going to try to have some of this up by around 5 or 6. |

FALCON X-0N 9:59pm, October 19, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | these are rough pictures, and I really mean that. Incredibly rough like. Badly rough like. Its on Angelfire, so what you're going to have to do is copy and paste.

This is he first thing, I did, it is NOT (that means NOT! NOT!!!) in three-dee. It's a top-down view of the few sectors. this is not the final product, and in fact I moved the Starfleet space around, but this is to give you a rough idea.

ah, the Tatoo sector. Everything there should be self-evident...a whole two dots! again, these will look a hell of a lot prettier as time goes on. Okay, off I go! =/\= |

AceOOC 9:04pm, October 20, 2002 [Edit] [Delete] | The Conglomerate has a intricate message bouy system, roughly one bouy every light year, except other faction's territory. I have yet to actually map DC territory, but I'll get that done ASAP. |
