Controlled systems idea

Now i was wandering seeing as we have a controlled systems page could we possibly have a contested systems page?
New members'll have to look back to see what planets we're currently occupying/fighting on so i thought something like this would be a good idea. Systems we haven't started a campaign on, but that are nearby could be added.
The page could be updated with the level of imperial control, current resistance and planet type.
This would also be a handy resource for Squad Leaders as it would provide locations for squad stories, what do you think? ----------------------- + Advance Recon Commandos {ARC} +

I think that's a great idea. Also, I think with it should be a galactic map of where we are supposedly placed in the star wars universe. That would also help. I know a general area of where we would supposedly be, since the VE is an Imperial faction. But knowing where Kad and them placed the planets they came up with in that zone would be helpful. ----------------------- Senior Sergeant Kairo

In all honesty I don't remember. It's been on my computer for awhile. I think it was either Talon, Cosmic, Fury, or Rizzit that gave it to me. ----------------------- Senior Sergeant Jikkyo "Angel" Nimiichi

In the contested systems would be things like Moorja and nearby planets that havent directly been mention but we could describe the current situation so all members know where we stand and SL's have some unmentioned planets they can use for stories . . . ----------------------- + Advance Recon Commandos {ARC} +

Ah...?
I'm with Kairo Raz, great idea. The status of some of the contested systems is just a little vague at the moment. Coming up with a world for squad missions, and more importantly a reason for being there, currently requires a lot of guesswork by squad leaders. Even just a brief explaination of the circumstances on contested planets would help.

Anyone have the map that came in Starwars Insider? It's a really good one. And thanks for showing that one, i thought we were on the other side of the galaxy. ----------------------- Go here or i will kill you. Tune in daily for new pics : )

That map is a sloppy adaptation I did from one a RPGer named Chim-Chim did. He based it off of the ones found in the NJO books. Fact Files and Insider have done their own derivatives of the book map as well.
The best hands-down mapping done right now is from Cartographer over at Nav Computer. I once got a hold of Cartographer and figured out which fonts he used (I don't have them all) to try to update his with VE map. I never have gotten around to this.
That said, the idea of a campaign map is an excellent idea and should be looked into. ----------------------- PRF/SM Fury/VEA/TADATH/VE [MoH][SCPx2][PoC][SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][MSM][IOC]
