    Default October / November Lite Mapping Challenge: Star Lines

    No idea if I will get this finished, but I did at least get a map started. The idea is to show in a strait line of a curving warp line in space, going from one (yet-to-be-named) star system to another, with stops along the way, which will be described in more detail along the top and bottom of the map.

    Neat idea. I look forward to seeing this progress.

    Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

    I got some more work done on the map. Its now developing into an alt-universe steampunk style. Still need to add in details on the planets and whatnot.

    Simply brilliant. This Idea is so great I have to tryout a similar Map. Personally I think this Lite challenge could also have been a 'Big' Challenge, its pushing the borderies of our standard maps here a lot. Great! get my Rep

    Here is the latest version of the map. Added in a "menu" selector, and a crank and pulley system to show how far along the ether-line the ship is. Plus did lots of other little tweaks. I think I am pretty close to being done. In case you were wondering, I got the dinner menu off of Wikipedia. According to them, its the first dinner served on the initial run of the Real Orient Express.
