Does anyone know of any site that may have custom maps? I'm inerested in either a Star Wars, Star Trek map.

There is some maps in the old archieve. Click here. (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000020.html) I can't remember any site that has maps. BTW there is lots of good stuff in the old archieve that hasn't been moved to the current one.

It's not a literal Star Map, but I believe it nicely encapsulates the warp drive/hyperdrive/hyperspace action.

In my FTL map, ships which travel to the edge of the starsystem can warp into "hyperspace" (a cluster of 17 systems.

While at FTL, One MP moves one square on the galaxy map!

Also, there are (about) 12 entry points to any system from FTL space. That means you can't defend warppoints, and must rely on interceptions.
Planetary shields are also a very wise investment.

EDIT: oops you need a link. (See sig)
