[QUOTE="Peterson, post: 2140817, member: 21431"] I believe that I may be able to scan the galaxy map in, but ya got to remember - I suck at drawing (my stickmen have three arms and four legs normally) and it's large - up too about 2'x3' when laid-out. I think all told there was 12 planets, 4 astroid belts, around 108 "dead" planets, numerous moons, and about 20 space stations, all spread out across a few star systems. Space Travel - especially FTL travel - was a pain in the arse. True, with Cyronic Technology and Genetic Engineering, most people never cared that the trips took decades from one side of the galaxy to the other, but those bred for special purpose - like Black Ops - did. Jump Gate Technology is actually pretty commonplace nowadays, and when coupled with the newest engines, one can actually cross the galaxy within a decade. However, such engines are expensive, although travelling the Jump Gate isn't so bad, and only properous companies and governments regularly combine the two technologies. Still, the travellers must basically rely on the kindness of others, since Jump Gates normally require a small tariff to make use of, and the operators of the Jump Gates (depending on where you are, and who you are) may not be in the mood to allow you access. Oddly enough - or perhaps not so strange - one of the more difficult missions involved the Aleerin Black Ops Team to steal a prototype Jump Drive....which was of course already installed on a ship and heavily guarded. Anyway, to quickly restate: I will scan the galaxy map if there is really a desire for it, but it's not really worth it in my - and my players' - opinion. It's overly large, overly complicated, and not well-crafted in any sense of the word. :\ Peterson [/QUOTE]
