Here is the current explored universe of FLOP




There is a bit of overlap in the middle.

What are purple worlds, and what do the rings around some systems mean?  I haven't been able to figure that out looking at other maps.

Red ring is no grav survey complete
Pink are unexplored jump points.
Dark blue dots are under 2.0 habitability.
Light blue dots are 2-4 hab.
Umm... Not exactly sure what the blue rings are. Steve?

There are also pink rings and green rings on the Rigellian Diary maps,and light blue ones on yours.  Thanks for the info!  I had begun to suspect that pink dots were unexplored warp points.  Good to have that cleared up.

Rigellian Diary maps are from Starfire Assistant.
These are from Aurora.

Both have a common source in code and concepts, but are two very different games. I'm fairly positive Steve's changed some of the map symbol meaning from SA to Aurora to account for new or no longer used concepts.

Light Blue rings are uncolonized planets costing 4 or less.

I suspect a light green ring (in SFA) indicates a sensor buoy network.  The dark blue, pink, and yellow rings?  Who knows?

Galactic Map Key
Here is a complete list of icons and rings. As a result of checking this I have made one or two changes which are noted below. Also note that the icons and rings below can be turned on and off on the Display sidebar so they will not all be present on every map

Icons
Blue: Planets with colony cost less than 2.0
Cyan: Planets with colony cost 2.0 to 4.0
Grey: Colony Cost 4 to 10
Magenta: Unexplored Jump Points

Circle colours
Red: No jump point survey
Magenta: System contains charted but unexplored jump points
Green: System with population over 100m
Light Green: Populated System
Pale Green (Coral in v2.1): Controlled system without any colonies of controlling race
Yellow: Suspected dormant jump point
Med Blue: Occupied pop only in the system (probably obsolete now)

In v2.0 only
Cyan: Uncolonised world of colony cost 4 or less
Grey: Uncolonised world of colony cost 10 or less

In v2.1 only
Blue: Uncolonised world with a colony cost less than 2
Cyan: Uncolonised world of colony cost 2-4

General
Flat in upper left shows race in control of system (in the opinion of the viewing race). Own flags are not shown.
Flag with red border shows previous owner of system (in the opinion of the viewing race)
Star Trek spacedock icon in lower left shows shipyards in the system
Number under the name shows the grav survey cost of a survey location in the system
Number in brackets after the name shows distance in billions of km from currently selected system. Note this is using the shortest number of jumps. It is possible there are shorter routes using more jumps.
Thick coloured circle around the rim of the system icon shows sector colour
