Look how small my beloved CapCon is...

Can we please get a star-chart like Mass Effect, and this sound track when looking at it?



Maybe a little jumpship that moves around the map as well.

Put that on repeat and check out these (56k warning): http://iscs.teamspam.net/

I have to give credit to Inner Sphere Cartography Society for these!

The devs are certainly going to have their work cut out for them recreating this map, but I will give them a standing O if they do!

Don't forget Sarna's under "Background", then "Planets". You can open the PDF's for the map with jump routes to each planet. Must have if on campaign.

I'm glad other people know about these maps. I use them a lot in tabletop campaign games.

[Threat Doc]

I've used them a lot trying to put together my field manual... that and the http://isatlas.teamspam.net , where they have the goods for every single planet in the Inner Sphere. This is amazing stuff.

Impressive map, intimidating even...

Something more fitting the Mechwarrior and Battletech would be better. Mass Effect is a very good game (so many memories) with awesome soundtrack, but I can't hear the same theme in BT. It just isn't right. There should be some kind of music played in the background, though.

My question is will they bring the maps out in to a fantastic 3rd dimension. BT maps have always given x and y coords but never the z... I would love to see a 'holographic' 3d representation of the BT universe. Yeah pretty sure we will not see that, but I would love to see it done.

I remember this one time I showed a kid the map of the Inner Sphere and he asked "where's earth?" and I pointed at our star system, "Well that's where all our planets are."
The look on his face was priceless and also one of the many reasons why I love this Universe.

Yeah, the canon of jump paths being laid out in 2D kind of makes it a pain to lay them out in 3D. However, now that someone has played the Mass Effect galaxy map music for me, I must have this feature. PGI, give me a Mass Effect galaxy map nowwwww!

The one from the 1st, or 2nd one?

[Major Crash]

I always wonder why they leave the Star League Defence Force lostech manufacturing sites off these maps. Of the five hidden worlds, one in each House, only two have been found yet.
Ruins of Gabriel in Lyran Comm. which turned out to be a shipyard in the Odessa system, and Jardine in the Free Worlds League aka Heraxleion making Cybernetics. Geee.. those would be a couple of nice rocks to turn over and locate huh?
They know that Jardine/Heraxleion lies smack in the middle of the jump route from Ideylde to Rexburg, folks just go zipping right on by near the speed of C and never see it.

If I were in the universe, I would be a Merc w a special long term mission of finding the other 3, Mayadi, Obeedah & Taussen. Even though the one in the Drac Combine is rumored to have been destroyed long ago, (better not be the Mech plant).
I would contract to fight for anyone taking me near suspected locations. Bet at least one makes Mechs, how about the other two, maybe Aero & Ground based weapon systems???
GET INNN MY BELLLY!
Be nice to see this stuff enter a future release as computers advance & Devs move towards a truly persistant Uni for us to tool around in. I'll just hold my breath another 5 years or so.
Nice little side missions like this would be fun for all...until I find them! So Comstar thinks they run the HPG do they,,,Ha.
