If I break down and chemical bath homemade blue prints, I'll be going above and beyond for that last little bit of "old age" feel to my star charts. I don't think I'll be breaking out a quill any time soon lol
Holy crap, up for 16 hours and it's already number one on the HOT chart?! This is awesome :)

Awesome stuff. Even for simple printout at home and creation of a "binder" of sorts, this is great.
NYX map was dopeeee. I would also agree here with sawbones. Do one large post with all the maps for sure. I upvoted on the community post as well. Everyone loves it. I bet if you send these to the CIG office and CR see's them he will love them, no doubt in my mind. Then you can sell them and make bank. Remember us when you're famous King! DONT FORGET USSssssssss!
Oh shit, Disco Lando gave me props and that shit is awesome ;) Thanks for pushing the votes up guys if it weren't for the support of TEST not only would I not be up there at number one but I also WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN THIS GAME ENOUGH TO MAKE THE MAPS IN THE FIRST PLACE! This is a victory for TEST squadron, BEST squardon!
Victory for all of us and YOU especially with your hard work and dedication! Disco Lando throwin you mad props and Staff Pick AND Citizen Spotlight! You MADE IT TO THE TOP! MAH BOYYYY! btw a lot of people are talking about putting distances on the maps but idk how hard that would be?

Hey KingNerd - Glad to see you got citizen spotlight / Staff pick :)
I would love to see a book of star maps :)
I think being a map it's probably stupid important to have things like, i dont know, measurements? So yeah I should go and add those lol ;) The thing is when I was making the map I didnt see a way to get measurements and since I've been playing with the star map sometimes it gives good distances but other times it gives crap or different numbers. I don't know if they have that part working or not yet to be honest but if I can get it locked down I'll be able to easily go back and edit measurements into the maps.

Not sure if you had them in mind, but this is verrrry reminiscent of IFR approach plates! As such, these shouldn't be made into large blueprints, but small sheets that can be clipped into a kneeboard (if you're looking for an authentic use case).

can the measurements part of the legend be measured in auroras? :3
Yeah, I hope you can get em in there with the later maps like if you do one of the big posts to the community with a bunch of maps. CANT WAIT :D

This is bloody amazing, man! Aside from printing them out and hanging, which would add infinite amounts of swag to any room :), if you made enough and put together a catalog, I'd totally rather use these than in-game maps for long jumps. You know, don't make the computers smarter than you...
But great job so far, everything is awesome. I agree with the colour thing though.

I think if we tried that we wouldn't be able to put that number in a calculator very well lol
But I think payments for the maps can be made in Aurora's ;)
EDIT: You can use the PDF's I put here in the forum to print your own at a large format print shop, I don't know how they would look on a normal sheet of paper but I assume not very legible.
I just made an IMGUR account to upload the maps to in JPG format since I can't update my citizen spotlight post. All I can edit there is text, adding images after the initial post isn't built out yet so I can't do anything about it until they update the site.
Here's the imgur, though you guys who've been following the post don't need it :)
