No, but I can see why GDW did not make it 3d. Consider the problems
involved in displaying such a map. The best and most accurate would be
a hologram. But we haven't gotten that far yet....
An easier way would be multiple levels of 2d maps. A real pain to use.
Another way would be to have notes about how far a system was above or
below the major 2d plane.
