Sandarbian Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Ok, I bet nine. Anyone wanna raise the bet? NINE FREAKING WARP POINTS IN ONE SYSTEM!! My mapping horror just went vamp on me!!🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I seem to recall 10+, but it is challenging to look through all the data to be sure. In any event 9 is a large number. The only consolation I can offer is that more than 50% of them are probably dead ends if it follows the patterns I have seen over the years.

Sandarbian Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 So far I've been graced with a system having 9 warp points, a system with 6 warp points, and 2 systems having 5 each. I cry with joy upon finding a system with 2 warp points and will probably stroke out at finding a dead end. If I had to actually redraw the map by hand on paper, such as it was way back when, I'd be doing socially unacceptable things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Mar Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have got one 10 and two 9s. But an average of 4 appears to be the norm. Dead ends? what are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fremen Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 And there is a possibility of one of those dead ends being someone’s HW system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I draw my map in a spreadsheet., with circles representing each system and lines linking them for the warp points. Then all I need to do is drag systems around when the map needs to be re-arranged. Also, I write my fleets onto the map so I can quickly search for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But works. And yea, fleets are shown on map. Remember the Starweb days of redrawing the map over and over again by hand as connections were discovered.

Isemann2 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I actually bought a program called "AstroSynthesis V3.0". You can download a 14 day version and try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Until the map gets too big I use Excel with shapes and connectors. I also use a map that uses Graphviz, NEATO and SVG viewer. This is out of the findpath program. The main advantage to this is that I can create a map in just a few minutes, I can incorporate a number of mdb's of different positions and it has never been wrong. The downside is that it is different every time and I can't make any annotations on it. Connecting one system at a time when you discover it is not old. it happens every turn.

Ok, I didn't stroke out but I did find 4 dead ends off of the same 9 WP system with three of them being a Warp Nexus. Of course, there could be closed warp points in some of those "dead ends"...as the Mighty Jingles would say, nothing like a little surprise...hmmm...that might be a tad risque for here... Still got three directions to survey and explore. There be a lot of strange Out There. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJellicoe Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Don't have 10, but use lucidchart, works on web browser or ipad, and makes it easy to edit when i get new information.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead ends? what are those? Dead ends are those systems that have only 1 warp point leading back to the one you entered through. That’s very common occurrence when you find a large warp nexus line the one you found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
