Realistic meaning that it's based on reality. World maps, maps of Europe and various countries, etc. are realistic. Maps like this aren't: https://www.warlight.net/Map/5745-Battle-Islands-V

For space maps, very few on Warlight are realistic. Examples of non-realistic space-related maps:

• https://www.warlight.net/Map/17304-Interplanetary
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/13333-Calypso-Chronicles-End-Infinity
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/4278-3-Planets
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/3891-2512-Probable-Solar-System (more schematic than realistic)
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/15751-Rise-Sol
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/14625-Outpost-Revolt
  
• https://www.warlight.net/Map/14090-Planetary-Annihilation
  

It doesn't even have to be the whole galaxy, it could just include nearby stars. Since we're inside the galaxy, it's kinda hard to get a 'bird's eye view' of it. But you could just use the night sky itself, with perhaps the closest 20, 50, or 100 stars as the main territories. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_and_brown_dwarfs

Heck, even a map based on our made-up constellations but accurately depicting the night sky would be more realistic than most space maps. This one goes for it, but is pretty ugly, IMO: https://www.warlight.net/Map/5197-Constellation-Map This one is similar: https://www.warlight.net/Map/2850-Constellation

Maybe instead of making the stars territories, you could use the stars as the vertices of territory polygons and have the territories be the regions between stars.

How do you make a realistic Earth-based map? Take a map of Earth and plot it to SVG. How to make a realistic space based map? Same thing. Take a map of space (sky's eye view, or perhaps use a similar spiral galaxy as a stand-in for our galaxy) and plot it to SVG.

Actually, just googling turned up some interesting results: https://www.google.com/search?q=map+of+milky+way

Here's one that looks promising: http://galaxymap.org/drupal/node/171

I wouldn't mind a nurburgring map if it would be possible to make it competitive...

The video at this link introduces the most detailed sky's eye view of the Milky Way available, which took over a decade to put together. Pretty awesome: http://www.space.com/25584-milky-way-structure-spiral-arms.html

Whoah, this thing is amazing. Here's the introduction: http://galaxymap.org/drupal/node/127

Here's the actual Milky Way Explorer, similar to Google Maps: http://galaxymap.org/mwe/mwe.php

I already made a Narnia map from that picture (page 2)
check https://www.warlight.net/Map/15724-Narnian-World

I still think a Star Wars -Galaxy Map would be very nice.

Maybe with 3 Big bonuses like

the Imperium, the rebels, and those who wont take part

Or maybe like the republic and the Droids :D

Eh any kind of space map - preferably without a background - with interesting gameplay (unlike rise of sol) would do good for me.

*[WOLF]Zephyrum something like that?

There needs to be a good Star Wars map in recognition of the new movie coming out...

i guess someone beat me to it xD

galaxy map no one has ever done it, i have tried making one before, but due to time consuming things and real life stuff i didn't have time to make it

Also just try to make some fake systems it doesn't matter if there real or not.

I think it would be nice to see a Berlin map, as there is only one online at the moment. if you could create a version with a greater or lesser number of territories, I would certainly appreciate it.

lol,why did you do some territories at the snooker map?
I was just joking!

Edited 11/27/2015 20:11:53

what exactly do you mean by "ter-s" ?

I see zxctycxz is attempting to create a World War 1 map.
