User:Jursamaj/Drive Map

The following maps show where you can get at different Interstellar Drive levels. They are large (3201*3201 pixels). Even at this scale, there are about 500 individual pixels that each represent 2 star systems, and even 1 that represents 3!

The yellow dots are star systems. The red dots (2118) are star systems that start the game as capitals of empires. This apparently includes all the potential home stars for the player. The blue crosses are wormholes. The green regions are all the stars that are interconnected at the given drive range. (Note, these maps do not adjust for the change of drive range as you approach the core. Maybe later.)

Yes, I am aware some parts of the map are unreachable, even at drive level 5.

The background grid is a little complicated. It has 2 different interpretations:
 * In terms of position according to the little ship above the badge bar, they are 2000 parsecs apart. (For this purpose, an angle of 0° points left, and increases counterclockwise.)
 * In terms of the distance when you point at nearby star systems, they are 100 parsec apart.

For reference, the red dot at the center is the Grox capital, Core is just above that. Sol would be 2½ gridlines up and right of the center.
