The more I take a look around where all those deeps space explorers went, the more I realize that some went quite far.
Some folks went to the core, visiting Saggitarius A (the super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy), others went to various nebulas, thousands of Light years away from Sol.
But there sadly doesnt seem to be a place to see where people went, and what they saw there. No place to just have all these information collected in a proper fashion.
Because of this, I call upon you, Elite Community, to create such a place.
The idea: Pretty simple. A map, of the entire Milky way. Nothing with exact system names and positions (thats just way way way to much, and something several people are already working on), but more like a grand overlook of the galaxy, with some zoom to see more specific features like nebulas.
On this map then, waypoints from explorers, together with links to screenshots or forum posts, so everyone can easily see where people went and what they saw there.
The easiest solution I can think of would be something like google maps. Crowd source the capture of map screenshots (top down), and stuff would be good in a couple of weeks.
More complicated, but far more useful, would be the ability to designate sectors, and thus allow to search for them on the map.
Anyone capable of doing this? I sadly have no clue, or time, to do something like this.
