The map from Star Frontiers is so COOL! 8-D
It has hexs over a stary background!

Since I'm the proud owner of Silent Death (old and new versions),
Leviathan, Starfire and several other hex-based space games I haven't
yet felt the need to buy the GeoHex felt mats (...though I probably will when
all the paper ones wear out!), but I always play FT on hexmaps just because of
the help they give with maintaining courses. Some opponents have... very
creative ways of measuring angles, and others (especially new players) often
find it difficult to figure out where the ship will end up; the hexes
help in both cases :-)

(OK, the Starfire hexmaps don't look too good, but those from Leviathan (with
large, but rather discrete, hexes) are very nice.)
