> "Starforce Alpha Centauri" has a hex-grid map of a radius of all Anyone remember or have FGU's Space Opera? They had a very neat and tidy method of depicting stellar locations in 2-D using a grid coordinate system. I like it a lot and am using it for a project I'm working on at mapping 'nearby' stars (~200 cubic ly). Makes calculating distances between two given stars a snap. The details on this are given in their Star Sector Atlas I book. Mk
