Ah, progress.
The map has evolved quite a bit since my last posting, and as you can see it’s getting a bit crowded. Naming those systems – currently about 250 – is much more work than one might at first think.

Oops. Here’s a direct link.
I personally feel your pain.
Although I've been at this for a while now, so I have a good stock of names built up.
Think Soren means this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/2921170018/
Thanks for dropping by Soren – Nice map. It looks a lot like the Escape Velocity maps!
No, I mean the later one – among other things, it’s three times as large. I made it public, so you can kill my second post if you like.
Oh okay, the link in that 2nd post got killed. Anyway that is a really nice looking map. Have you considered joining the Cartographer's guild at http://www.cartographersguild.com/ ? If you enjoy map-making, that is THE community for you! 🙂
Interesting! I”m not a huge fan of forums, but I may participate semi-anonymously :). I’ve got several old maps that I was working on prior to a drive crash – I should rework and expand them.
Cool. Is this an alternate Traveller setting?
L.
Part of the inspiration was certainly Traveller, but in the end it's as much an alternate Traveller setting the same way, oh, Warhammer is an alternate D&D setting. That is to say, they are rather built on the same sources. My main inspiration to start building this setting was that I discovered H. Beam Piper's works, which I never had read before. There's some awesome stuff he wrote and I highly recommend his works. If you look at the map – and know Piper – you will find a lot of his colony names as well as an adherence to the same general naming schemes.
