Phew. Another long, long evening working on this map. It now has 401 named systems, I’ve also added a bunch of other stuff since the last update.
And a cropped zoom:
I do not even want to think about how much time this took me to create. But I am really happy with how this is turning out!

Spent probably six hours updating this thing, and looking at it I wonder… why did that take me so long? I did experiment a little with regional / sector labels; and of course placing all those stars is actually much more work than it looks like.

Both were saved as JPG as well, so there’s some loss of detail from that as well.
As always, I’ve also updated the thread on the Cartographers’ Guild.

I’ve been working on a new version of the galactic Voyagers map lately. This is really based on the first Voyagers incarnation, not the current; anyway, just consider this a random galactic empire map…

Okay, this is the current version of my Voyagers map. It didn’t really change that much anymore – I’ve optimized some lines here and there, added some star systems, added names… This is probably the last version of this particular map for reasons I’ll detail in a later post.

Voyagers: Human Space
There should be about 300 named systems on that map.
