Feel free to do it. I posted the rough-ish version for this exact reason.

I like anything that isn't all white, with other generic colors mixed in. In short, I like both efforts. It sounds like Sp4wn is deferring to you Compellor. Do you think you can come up with a rough draft in the next couple of days? Then if we want to add more flair (yes as in Ric Flair WOOO! lol) to it and you feel it is beyond your capability or time available we'll get someone else to run with it. Time is the critical factor here though as we can't truly start AW5 without this map.

I really appreciate everyone's comments and help.

dont mind if you dont pick it, but heres what i did with my meager gimp skills (im really missing photoshop /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> )

if anyone wants the xcf/psd to mess with just pm me your email.

Stictly speaking the centre of a galaxy is a black hole, so this sort of conforms to what you asked.

you dont mind that i moved the octogon's a bit do you? they still connect up the same...

EDIT: i did hexagons instead of octogons because i cant read, will fix...
EDIT2: fixed. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

Does this have anything to do with that club you're in, what did you call them..."SOD"s? Yeah, is this for your SOD club? /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Im not deffering it, if you want me to have a crack then I will. Compeller wants a go and as he said, no point 2 of us going in our own directions with double effort for no reason.

If you need a hand or want anything doing, hit me up.

Edit:

I'm not sure I could have imagined it better from a visual standpoint. The whole thing needs to be just a bit bigger so that the octagon 'pies' are slightly bigger. I want it to essentially fill the screen.

Compellor and Sp4wn if you want to make a go of it I'd be interested to see your concepts!

Edit - also, the canvas needs to be bigger so that there is room for the sector names somewhere in there. But still.... /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> great work

I liked that background, but I wanted to try something different with the foreground. Wasn't really liking the octagons. If it has to be octagons, I can change it.

Yeah it has to be octagons or it won't work with our mapping scheme. I like the connectors better on Compellor's. Compellor's octagon sizes are about right too. Now if we can only get the map sized so that sector names can go in I think we can use the combination of the two.

For the record, all I did with the connectors was take black lines, run Filters>Alpha to Logo>Glowing Hot, and mess with the color balance.
