It may be unwise to ignore the cries of the many fans of FS but if they continue to do so, not much could be done to bring them to their senses. (Except, possibly, a carefully executed kidnapping)
...
(Or even a good kneecapping of a few employees)

Hmmm.... who can most accurately predict the date of "expiration" of so-and-so? Nahhh - let's not start.

(if you don't understand the reference.... good. )

You do too many campaigns, Icefire.

Can you post the link for the "official" nodemap for FS2 and FS2 "official" user-created campaigns? Thx.

Ok.....there is no official FS2 nodemap. The only official nodemap is a FS1 nodemap from Volition. Not that a whole lot changed.

http://www.volition-inc.com/fs/downloads/fsnodemap.gif

And this one is mine. I added systems from campaigns like Derelict and Twilight. In most cases, specific arrangements were requested and I was happy to oblige. So for a good number of campaigns, this is the map to use.

I note with dismay that you eliminated Talnia (Vega - Talnia and Bet Aquilae - Talnia) and Epsilon Eridani (Alphard - Epsilon Eridani). I also note that the Delphi - Kaus Borealis node is unstable. I'm sure that's explained in one of those campaigns... I also noted that there is a node between Alphard and Barnards Star... Hope that will be explained in upcoming campaigns. And one final question. Is there a jump between Epsilon Pegasi and Procyon A?

Talnia was eliminated because of its relative obscurity and because Ace used it very specifically and I'd rather not have everyone believe it was a "regularly" known system. That was a personal choice.

The instability of the Kaus Borealis node was done for a purpose but that purpose is obscure and it had to do with Derelict and their venture into the Delphi system. I think the idea was to give a little separation between Derelict and Warzone (which theoretically could have been going on at the same time) while still keeping them frighteningly close.



Better check the original FS1 map from Volition. No jump between Procyon A and Epsilon Pegasi (look closely) and no jump between Barnard's Star and Alphard. My map just spaces stuff a bit better so that they don't overlap lines so much.

EDIT: Seems when I uploaded a better version a few months ago, I seem to have put it in the wrong place. I did make a few corrections and that may have lead to some confusion on the Barnard's Star and Alphard link.
