I am getting tired of new/better/different ways to map sectors and
subsectors.  I've already got all I can handle.

What I would like to see is some mapping tools for:

	Generating MAPS of solar systems, complete with lesser
	bodies, asteroid belts, main cometary paths, etc.
	It would be OK to have to use a computer for scaling
	or several sheets of paper for various scales.

	Generating major orbital-scale maps: one planet with
	its attendant natural and artificial satellites (and
	possibly the satellites') and major orbits (like
	geosynchornous).

	Generating maps of planets, continents etc.  complete with
	major population centers, life forms and so on.  It would
	be a requirement that the use input major parameters from
	the UPP (or have a machine do it).
(finally)
	Creating the rough equivalent of a "net list" of what's on
	each map (this is for all of the above) for the GM.  Then
	the GM can use the list for adventure/campaign/encounter
	information without messing up the map.

any more thoughts?
	Richard
