Lol, yep. When I first saw a Cartesian Map I thought how weird! Growing up with Traveller and all of those board games to me a Hex Grid came natural. However, as I got older and became more interested in astronomy, I came to see the beauty in a well-done Cartesian Map.  :)

I believe that a cartesian map would work the best here, as you would be measuring actual distance, and as you said, the hex map would distort items.

Interstellarshadow, and everybody else who contributed their opinion and vote, it looks like we will be using both styles of maps.  ;D

The Cartesian Map will be the FTL map, while the Hex Map will be the Apollonian Gate Map.  :)

Interstellarshadow, thank you for your input.



Cheers, Thor
