L5 map, circa .611
« on: May 28, 2012, 04:54:34 pm »
It's truly amazing the things one finds when digging through the old release notes.  Not only did JH release a map of L5, but Francisco Munoz flipped it upside down (apparently) and included useful captions.

Original thread: http://www.gearheadrpg.com/forum/index.php/topic,1073.15.html

Unfortunately, JH's link is broken so I'm using FMunoz's map.  Unless anyone objects, I think this sucker is headed for the wiki--with, of course, proper annotation and attribution.

That map is definitely wiki-worthy. The best place for it is probably http://gearheadrpg.com/wiki/index.php?title=L5_Orbital_Pattern.

OK, I've uploaded the found-map to the wiki and was about to edit it onto the page, but decided to wait for FMunoz or JH to comment, seeing as it's their work.

Went to go recompile .625 with the Daemonward display update, and, well, it didn't work. :(  Not sure what I screwed up, but that's OT here.  Elsewhere & later.

BUT that freed up the time to re-flip & re-annotate the map.  I took the liberty of synchronizing all locations to their L5_Atlas designations, italicizing political capitals, and colorizing faction HQs: purple for the Rocket Stars, blue for L5Law, orange for Comet, dark blue for the Privateers & cyan for the Silver Knights.  No known HQ for Hoeller or MUGL.  Submitted for your consideration and hopefully approval:

The map show in my message was already flipped (there is a small note about editing the post)
The map JH posted is the small black image  at the bottom of my post... he used 1 pixel per space location mine uses 20-30.

I must've missed the note, then.   Thanks, Francisco Munoz--any objection to wikifying or the caption changes?

It would also be a good idea IMO to create a table for the wiki listing all the spinners and their coordinates (as well as the map). My 2 cents.
