As am I. It's nice to at least know you guys are still alive even. I've been kept on baited breath for nearly 3 years now, I figure I can wait another 3 if need be.

Correct. As I said, this was more just an interest in trivial knowledge (even trivial game-wise) that I thought would make for a fun project to test out the capabilities of a program. It is sounding like I was correct in suspecting that Origin just scattered a bunch of interconnected dots...

Apparently my second post didn't go through last night, but my comments were much like Ljuin's. I'm aware that a map could not be made of the Akwende projection maps as star position is not important in a jump travel system, only how they interconnect via their jump points. However, if the stars...

I've tried doing a bit of searching on this and haven't gotten any threads to pop up, so I hope this isn't a topic that's been beaten to death and I just have been using the wrong keywords. Ultimately, what I'm interested in is how the star systems of the Wing Commander universe stack up...

Quite right, it's all theory until someone actually tests it a few times. To my knowledge, no one's made any attempt to launch a ship to light speed or beyond yet so all we have are a few pretty math equations that claim we can't. They had a lot of pretty ones to say we couldn't break the sound...

Generally I believe skids are preferred for aesthetic reasons more than functional. For most sci-fi themes, including Wing Commander, the craft seem to be able to levitate, further eliminating the problem of friction. As for a possible advantage, they would be easier to secure to the deck of...

Well, it's not Wing Commander, but I do role-play as a starfighter pilot in an original sci-fi setting called Otherspace. It's MUSH for those of you that know what such things are. For those that don't, it's a text-based RPG. I'm currently looking for anyone interested in joining the ranks of...
