Nice offer from someone on Egosoft forum:


Greets XTM,

I am in the process of doing a new set of maps for the X3 universe, and wanted to touch base with you regarding any changes to sectors, critical stations, special stations, etc. If you do so in the Xtended Mod (and I'm not entirely sure if you do), I would be glad to make a special map for your mod and host it along with the others I'm doing.

To date, I have a standard X3 map that will be going out probably tomorrow (Saturday the 23rd) for the unmodified X3 Universe, and one for the XFP Mod which has already gone through revision via their forums.

If you'd like a sneak peek at either map, here are some links before they go out to the public:

* New X3 Map - Standard Universe (1mb, 720dpi, PDF)
* New X3 Map - XFP Mod Universe (1mb, 720dpi, PDF)



I have various resolutions to satisfy modem users, standard gamers, and the hard core types that like 6-foot maps plastered on their walls. Let me know if this sounds like something your mod needs and/or deserves and I'll give it my attention. Wink

Cheers.

Accepted and promised to return our special yard coordinates and such
to be put on the map.

I'd like us to seriously consider to fixate all our Shipyards and special locations. For one they keep yielding questions, not that big a concern but still.. More important is the fact they are random means their accesability suffers tremendously.
Though charming at first, I'd much rather have all players having easy access
to ships sold over there then looking for them and giving up because of frustration or not knowing even where to look.
Might be chystal clear for us but I dont think it is.

Imo .6C should feature a much bigger nr of users telling us about Scrapyard bought vessels then currently are about....I dont think anyone uses any.

Note: This guy would no doubt also be very happy to facilitate us with a PDF of our own Custom Universe.

wow that's a darn nice looking map, i agree 100% on taking him up on it, and fixing our locations really makes sense, as there's very little point to making them random

Do we want Otas and/or DS on the map since they requires missions to find? Pirate SY, Scrapyard, Terran SYs should all go on for sure

I would say so yes, provided a hefty spoiler warning frontends the map download it should be allright, if only from a point of easily pointing users to the sectors they are in.

Sounds very good, I like the map a lot, and the idea of fixing the SYs would be a lot easier on the users, and give us far less complaints.

Definitely go for that.

I agree with that , also , it would make everyone's work easier when doing missions and the such for the new universe(because we could use that map to fix the locations and such). And he is doing this on it's own so...

you arent able to dock with the DS until you do that mission, perhaps we want to do the same for Otas, in which case it doesnt matter if theyre on the map and you know where they are until you complete the mission

otherwise just putting nice spoiler tags and having the mission still in as sorta an Otas advertisement makes sense to me, just wanted to put the other idea out there
