Fiction Fiction Tie ins - The Galactic Map

As I pointed out to some Lavecon attendees when I got a chance to take a look, if you've read any of the fiction it's worth typing some systems into the Galactic Map's search tool... ;)
 
Ooh, I must get around to this. I have a ton of place names on my Kindle that I highlighted as I was reading, just for this purpose.

Does this include older fiction such as Frontier 2? I'm curious to get the gazette and see what has changed. :)

I believe all the systems from Frontier: Elite 2 should be in the game. If any are missing it would be because Frontier Developments have more accurate star data.

Some names may have changed a little, which is to be expected in one hundred years.
 
I saw the Old Worlds as a sector name in Alpha 4 vids, so pretty sure at least they will make it in. As for the rest of the fiction, the Elite and Frontier galaxies don't really match outside of the Old Worlds...

Just to be clear, systems in the the gazetteer should be there, but FE2 had half a billion systems and the name generator wasn't that great. They'll most likely keep the few thousand anyone's actually heard of and do something better with the rest, although a part of me does want to spend Christmas in a system called "Hohoho" :)

Only significant systems have been brought forward as most of them were generated and we have a lot more real stars than FFE.

Ah apologies, I'll clarify what I meant. The previous game was trying to model the galaxy and this game is trying to model the galaxy, but it doing it with much more accuracy. I was referring to the real stars, I didn't think people would worry about the random systems.
