I like how their designed in a spiral design, although ICC would have something of a trip, but its more realistic.

Whoh, now wouldnt that be totally awesome, if the Nav screen were actually alot more like a star chart, with a superimposed rotating galaxy.
THAT would be neat... make it so.

I assume that this is just a part of the galaxy?
Because if it isn't, then Sol and AC are about, erm, 6-8000 light-years apart?

i think everyone here (or at least those who've been around for a while) know that distances in darkspace arent anywhere near "to scale" (luna a dread's length from earth anyone?)

The map looks cool graphically, but I am being attacked by realism hax. The ICC systems are so far out of the way that I have to wonder how the systems now controlled by K'luth were not fully colonized by humans. The ICC systems being so sparse doesn't bother me because, well, it's likely that the human systems originally colonized were looking for very attractive features and only established jumpgates in huge systems.
Then again, I'm following the DarkSpace history and scenarios for my knowledge that the systems that are now K'luth were originally left alone and largely uncolonized by humanity. My realism (which is based on knowledge of the game) may be corrupt hax.
