January/February 2014 Lite Challenge: Distant Frontiers

[schattentanz]

Geometry made me think of the endless stellar ocean ...

So, I'm going to map some star-thingy map.
Big challenge for me, too, since my only contact with sci-fi has been Traveller; 20something years ago (omg ..)

Anyways, here goes:

Those charts look really good!!

What are the stars in that formation? I love stars that make *recognizable* pictures

That's very nice! I really like star maps! I'm loving this challenge's entries.
Not that you need to, but just as a curiosity, if you want to simulate the solar system to get the orbits/distances/etc there are pretty good softwares out there.

Very cool entry!

Thanks for your comments

The stars (or rather: the systems' names) are some kind of "test your inner geek".
I won't reveal anything here. Use your Google-fu to explore the quadrant on your own

There are softwares for solar systems?
Where?
(And btw: I'm well aware, that the system I designed here is NOT to scale! If I wanted to put everything into proper scale, the system would visually disappear..)



Kind regards,
Kai
