Steve,sorry,hope u undertsand what am mean now:
with more than 200 stars on GalMap..ur "link-star" program generation are near to become boredoom on map display.
tooo more stars far one to each others (in "Arms" terms) r linked togheter and thus are very confusing map and strategical and at last: playability..
u know my "stupid" love for traveller map system.-.but...too many link (number check,number of jump point per Star system.etc.) was me drive crazy..
and am repeat..at last very difficult to manage on map.
With all troubles with this many link crossroads on map..diagonals,jump absurd..
objective: it's possible for u..change the linkage program?...if with only 200 stars r so crazy map..with 5000 am fear become hugly..
otherwise: can u give me a idea for setup a best way on this trouble?
believe me,when u have 10 or more strange link who cross ur whole galmap..u arent feel much this "jump program generation"...
sorry,my 2 cent:)
