Send me your email offlist at at chaos93@?????????.net and I will send you
the template. (This goes for anyone else on the list who would like one. as
well) The basic starsystem is laid out with orbital tracks, etc. I found it
on the net a few years back.  I do not remember where I found it, that was
long before I became part of the SJ community here. It seems to be that
basis of many of the starcharts I have seen.

The erasing of the additional rings, addition of text and planets, and very
little else was five minutes
in Photoshop. The naming conventions one I have adopted since the tradition
in the print products was to refers to different spheres as ________space,
just fill in the blank at the beginning of the filename when you save a new
system.

I am hoping to make several more star charts as I am creating a new area
called the Mercane Outer Flow. This is to contrast the Arcane Inner Flow,
and will be a higher level paying ground. BTW, the Arcane Mercane issue has
been addressed in my game by saying they are different names for different
groups of the same species. A good example is what we call a Po' Boy in here
in New Orleans is a Sub or a hoagie elsewhere. I use the two as competing
trading costars, each having several dozen starsystems under their thumbs.
