Sol System Map

July 16, 2008 1:50:19 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
A while back, I remember someone was working on a very detailed Sol system map for Sins. Did anything ever come of that?

Notes:
There is some duplication of astronomical naming between moons and asteroids. Some of the "volcanic" planets or moons listed are geologically active via cryovulcanism. There is no "Barren" planet type, so I substituted "Desert" in those cases where the object lacked either notable volcanic activity or large amounts of ice content. Named asteroids were generally included based on size. Dwarf planets and moons large enough to have a generally spherical shape were given planet-type designations; smaller moons were categorized as asteroids.

Sorry to revive and old topic, but... if anyone still wants this, I will make it.  

Three things though...

1. It's going to be big. Really really big. I think phase jumping to Pluto is going to take a very, very long time with this map, but in reality it takes 4 - 6 (depending on location of it's elliptical orbit) hours to go there at light speed, so this is not so bad after all!  

2. The moons of the gas giants and Earth it calls for are going to be full-sized planets... so it's gonna be kinda weird, but they'll be relatively close, so it'll at least make sense I guess.  

3. Like shiva said, there's no "barren world" type (which makes me really angry!  ) so Luna will have to be Desert or Ice... though, I think I'll go with Ice, instead of Desert. I hope that's okay.
