    So I've added some routes and distances along with system names.. the distances are a close estimate and not exact. Meh, works for me.
    What do you guys think?

    Heya. Looks pretty good to me. The space is a little nebulae-heavy but that can certainly be explained I think. Another thing that caught my attention is that The Big Empty and Raider's Run sound sort of Firefly-ish, while the names of the systems are a little more "serious" so they don't, to me, match very well. Depending on what you're going for you might try naming a couple of the systems things like "Bob's Hope" or "We Made It" or something to match those...or rename those more seriously, something like "The Kodar Rift" or whatever (yeah, skip my two system names...the first is TOO corny and the second is ripped from Niven ). Hope any of that helps.

    looks really good, and a nice touch with the flaring stars instead of the circles - works nicely. And nice lettering too

    Hmm, I've never seen firefly.
    I was giving some places a sort of common-man name rather than a proper name.. sort of how construction workers, miners, or police might have a nickname for the area's they work in that are famous for something. I'll think on other names though.

    I want to add something.. else. Not sure exactly. I was kind of wanting to add a black border around the image and doing the A-Z/1-26 lettering and numbering along the sides.
    Any suggestions as to what else could be put in?

    Thanks for the C&C by the way. I spent a lot of time on it last night.

    EDIT: Here's a little update
