Nice, but there's something wrong with that display as Achenar and Vega seems to be as bright as Sirius. Surely FD didn't forget Sirius is the brightest star even from Dahan. Infact from anywhere in our Galaxy I might add. Yes, for we are the brightest, we are Sirius! :D

Nothing shines as bright as Achernar. (or Achenar). :D

time for some update :

Edit : revised version :
196291BETA1list.jpg

I think this is a complete list of all the systems we'll have, centered on eranin. Hermitage currently lacks an 'i' and Pi-fang didnt work in the searsh bar, but you can click on it(or i did something wrong).

I assumed 20LY from eranin was the limit.

**: LP 98-132 was wrongly identidied as HIP 66625, that one was in fact Morgor !
LP 98-132 is LHS 2952. After all LP... is a real name i dont know why we got it wrong.

now 3 stars i'm not sure about which should be in the beta if the datas are correct:

HIP 67422 ( -5,5 ; 42,6 ; 7,8 ) not far from Aganippe, possibly Avici, slightly outside the buble

HIP 65012 ( -8,45 ; 48,1 ; 0,325 ) close to LFT 992, Ross 1008?

HIP 79762 ( -28,37 ; 23,26 ; -4,49 ) EW Draconis; LHS3176 it should be abotu 2 LY from Lalande 29917 but i dont see anything there on ED's map.

following that discussion
http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=39896

i made a bit of research :

nicomak said:
With these galactic coordinates :

distance = 27200 //different numbers from different sources,
longitude = 359,9442
latitude = -0,0462


I find the coordinates in ED should be around :

x = 26,49...................... // (inverted) Galactic Rotation direction
y = -21,93.................... // Galactic south=>Galactic North (vertical axis)
z = 27199,98............... // Sol=>Galactic center

In LY.

Here is a converter

The sun is on the line, bellow the arrow, but not just bellow yet above the line...

So it's not the position of Sagit A* or any real star that is in question, they are at their correct position relatively to Sol as far as i've checked(say the 55 beta systems and a few more), but the whole generated galaxy alignement with the galactic equator instead of the galactic plane looks wrong.

And some info on galactic coordinates :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_coordinate_system

Galactic coordinates use the galactic equator, not the galactic plane.

The angle is obviously bigger than in reallity.

Meaning that the "horizontal" grid is not the galactic plane, but the galactic equator in ED.
In 3300 we still wouldnt have crossed the galactic plane anyway.

Now has FD taken this into account? That should mean the galaxy would not be aligned with the horizontal grid.
When looking at the galaxy map it looks like both planes are merged or close somehow, too close to differenciate them. The 2 planes arein fact really close to each other anyway. at 25 000 LY away from the center, 20LY up or down wont do much of a difference.

The sun is on the line, bellow the arrow, not higher.


What do you think of that?
