Question for Sir Sig

[Aldaron]

Whoops...big mistake in there...added some extra zeroes...

Sir Sig...I have a question, a query, a poser...

I've just been going over your galactic political map, and I'm incorporating it into my own campaign. The thing is, I want to redo it in Campaign Cartographer 2 so that I can easily measure distances, etc - the only problem is I'm not sure of the scale of the thing.

I'm guessing it's about 7,500 light-years to a side (going by the approx. 3,750 ly from centre to edge...and sorta looks square! ), which means each one of those little squares would be about 20 ly...am I fairly close, here?

Secondly, what's the URL for your site?

Thanks a heap...

[SIR SIG]

I'm at work right now and don't the resources to hand.

But if you check my Trek Maps thread in Trek chat. That should have all the relevant links.

If your using the big map I think your using then yes, all the sector squares are 20x20 ly.

As a rough guide, Deneb should be at around 1600 ly from Earth for scaling.

And if you make a good map in CC2 can you pass it on

Thanks, Sig.

I'm wading thru the "warp speed" posts now...man, there's a lot of 'em!

Thanks for the heads-up on the scale, as well.

Re: the CC2 thing - don't expect anything soon! I'm still working on the <i>Intrepid</i>-class deckplans (up to deck 8, so far...) which are taking a lot longer than I thought. Importing your map as a background in a CC2 template was handy most of all for using the "Distance" function in CC2 - just select "Distance" from the menu and click on the locations and get an exact, 4-decimal-place-correct light-year distance!

Good for anal retentives like me...

[SIR SIG]

Hmm, I've got CC2 as well but I mainly use it for fantasy mapping.

Perhaps I should try one of my Trek maps in it?
