Sector Arrangement

JT and Copernicus, your copys are away.

Keep in mind the maps I do send are V.1 with a decent bit of detail for comment.

When I get them snazzy enough for V.2 'The Completed Copies' then everyone on this list will get them all.

V.2 could be up to a month away though.

Eventually they'll get posted on my webpage, once I sought it out a little better.

Not a vital system! What the heck do you think stops the ship going 'poof' every time it goes to warp?

Hey Sig, if you don't want to post it any place for easy download, would you mind shooting me over a copy?

Thanks

If it bounces for file size limits on hotmail accounts, let me know and I will send over another address

Very nifty, Sir. Thanks!

Your map sounds interesting. I'm always looking for a good Trek map. Please send me a copy. Thanks!

Its out Khyber, you'll get it soon!

Yes please send me a copy as well http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

I'd like to ask everyone, in the interest of not having to read a million "me too" messages, to please send requests for these files by E-Mail. You can click on the little envelope icon to do so. Discussion of the file after you've received it is great, but wading through a couple dozen consecutive identical one-line messages is a little boring...

Thanks.

Leave it to Owen to point that out! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

But he is right! Just Email me if you want a copy and we shall discuss it and the other maps here.

Anyone care to know my take on this sort of thing? I assume Sol is at the center of Sector 001, or should that be 0-0-1?. All 26 adjacent sectors are named after constellations. Vulcan Sector is also called Vulcan Sector. Other adjacents might have multiple names as well.

??? I don't quite get you Cochrane.

If Sol was in the middle of sector 001, how would you explain the alpha/beta quadrant borderline that supposedly goes through Sol?

As to the adjacent sectors and constellations? I really don't get unless you mean the constellations from a Earth perspective that the Centaurus Constellation is near Scorpius/Sagitarius (Galactic centre) and opposite of that is rimward?

Here's my rationale for Sol being in Sector 001...

Current astronomical estimates place Sol at 25000 ly from the Core (almost exactly half way between Core and Rim), and 20 ly up from the Galactic Ecliptic. The Alpha/Beta border is explicitly drawn as a vertical plane through Sol.

Sector 000 has at its centre the intersection of the Galactic Ecliptic, the Alpha/Beta border, and the halfway point between Core and Rim.

Sectors are generally a cube 20 ly on a side. This conveniently places Sol at the centre of a sector immediately "above," or to Zenith, of Sector 000. That sector is designated 001, or Sol Sector.

And the last time you said that I agreed in theory!

Just that it would have alot of sectors which are split in half due to the alpha/beta border line.

To me it seems more logical to have Sol on the borderline but also on the edge of ssector 001.

As demonstrated by my map, but in all things your mileage may vary!

well, I was just following some authoritative source or other. If I were to decide from scratch, I'd have Sol at the center of an eight- sector cube.

"...in all things your mileage may vary..."

Hey, guys! Turn down the friggin' A/C! We're barely getting 14 nanograms of antiprotons to the light year as it is!"

Reasoning? And thus 160 ly to a side?
