    Wip Caledonia Prime

    Hello All,

    This is my first cartographic project which may be a little too much ambitious but I’m sure it will be fun.

    Using Astrosynthesis from Nbos, I populated the space with all Known Stars within 5000 Lys from Earth. I then created a Grid of 2000 Ly divided in 200 LY sectors and each sector divided in 20 Ly subsectors.

    This is the explored space in the year 3697.

    Right now I’m creating my first system with an Earth-like planet named Caledonia Prime in the Caledonia System, also known as 68420 (Hipparcos catalog). As I already said I’m new to all these tools so comments are really welcome, specially telling me what I’m doing wrong.

    Here is the planet map of Caledonia Prime with a circumference of ~13’000 Km (~8’100 miles).

    I still need to learn how to create altitude lakes and manipulate the terrain altitude in a more controlled way and even reduce the number of rivers. I posted 2 images (with and without shades) so you can have a better idea on the rivers generated by FT3.

    Comments are more than welcome.

    ToDo:
    Regional map with Colony and small spaceport.
    Military Base
