I had the idea of making an alternative Star Frontier map with all of the star systems we all know and love (and then some), but with all those systems spread-out over greater distances, separated by uninhabited star systems - with ether lifeless rocks and gas giants, or with nothing at all. On top of that, each star would have different elevations. These uninhabited star systems may have an outpost with the spacer's equivalent to a truck-stop, and a military base (of an adjacent system) to prevent threats before they reach their homeworld.<br /><br />The idea with this, is to make the Frontier look and feel larger, with more unexplored areas, while making the worlds feel isolated, and to have the map look more realistic. I like how <a href="http://starfrontiers.wikia.com/wiki/New_Map_of_the_Frontier">this map</a> uses <i>Prenglar</i> - thee hub of the setting - as the focal-point for spatial coordinates. Although, I would have it as <i>±000-±000-±00</i> with XYZ vectors, and I would use terms like <i>Rimwards</i>, <i>Corewards</i>, <i>Spinwords</i>, etc.<br /><br />I have not done anything to manifest such a map, so I have nothing - making star maps is not my strength. If anyone wish to tackle this, then by all means, go ahead. I'm just throwing-out a random thought that might be useful to someone.
