When I try to view the pictures it tells me that there is a Permissions error.

"Permission error

What is actually happening is the links you click on are red, red signifies things that are awaiting completion by editors, on a text link it would take you to a page to start a new article, in the case of graphics it takes you to the upload page, normal users can't upload graphics, hence the error.

I've moved away from graphics and am using text arrows instead, so over the course of today you'll see a finished product.

I'll be updating it to include the extra green door a sy for some factions have for small ships.

Personally I find the arrows to be rather strange.

They seem correct but for it takes me a second to relate it to the station in question. I think a newb might not have any idea what they mean.

This is of course my opinion. I think if you had an overhead shot of the bases in question, with the arrow overlay, it would be much more...tangible.

The benefit of doing so is not worth the effort. ~60 graphics, time to setup shots, time to edit shots, way too much effort.

Its not meant for new players as opposed to new commanders, and as a cheat sheet for the rest of us.

The arrows grow on you.

Yeah, I agree. This is great cheat sheet and will help fill in the gaps in my memory when I command

Thanks Roy, look sweet!

Before you add teleports to that list, you should read this.

Some server (at least Mach3) use modified teleports, which don't have a fixed exit point, they use N/E/S/W (default till R5, will change to random direction in R6).

Reason:
Ripcording tons of large drones (like assault bases) may the crash server with unmodified teleports.

Good point, one of the reasons I didn't want to map tele rip points.
