Map requests

I think it would be cool if there was a map of our own solar system available to mess around in, along with some random stars for resources.

Also I would like a map where you start out with only a few captial ships and you need to fight the local militias before you can establish your empire.

Anyways this can also be a sounding board for other various map ideas and what not.

There are a handful of premade maps that do that, like doppelgangers. I'm sure there are some for download on wincustomize too.

I remember playing a Sol map in the Distant Stars mod back in the Trinity version of Sins, and It was AWESOME. It had its  own planet artwork (actually got to fly my fleet through the rings of Saturn, colonize the moon, and of course, bomb good ole' Mother Earth) and the planets were spaced around the map in a fairly accurate manner (lol, remember Sins cannotinto realistic scale and distances), but its not compatible, yet, with Rebellion because of those unique planet files and such.

Im pretty sure when Rebellion is finally released, the modders will create a Distant Stars mod for Rebellion

I like to set up AI games with every faction. So before it wasn't really a problem, because there are enough 3 player maps and i could even use bigger ones. Now with 6 factions I really would like to see more maps for that amount of  players.

Yes I could forge plenty, but official maps are wayyyy more fun ! :)
