Sphere

Version: v1.0
Type: Freeware
Author: Matt Clouser
Homepage: Interstellar Designs

Publisher Description
Sphere Map is a VGA PLANETS Star Map roughly circular in shape with a radius of about 800 ly. Yes, all 500 stars are in there, but the distances between systems is about the same in the Echo Cluster, or Standard Map for VGA PLANETS. I did this by making about 40-50% of the star systems double star systems, with distances of 1-3 ly apart. There are 5 triple star systems, all set about 350 ly from the center of the map.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: Like many of you VGA PLANETEERS out there, while I love the game, I get tired of those endless conflicts that can rage across the Echo Cluster. The suggested victory conditions for this map are simple - any player who controls all 5 triple star systems after Turn 50 wins!

Each map has been designed to have relatively sparse arms, with a dense galactic core. It is the intent to assign one homeworld per arm. With this in mind, the top stars in each galaxy are placed midway out the arms.
