Actually, yep I have heard about that map. Had a friend who had it too,
but alas he sold all his stuff before I got my hands on the map. Yeesh. Around
here, the GDW representation is pretty bad (well, for anything other than T2K).
Also, I'm looking at programming a 3D MegaT star system generation
and display program. I guess it'll be like Library, but I'm looking at
Graphical display of star proximity and distance between stars. I'm also gonna
put in jump route stuff (but if all goes well with the above, that'll be a
piece of cake!). This is still a kicking around idea, but would be neat...
First I gotta put together some Computer rules and get the armor generator
done. That should be fairly soon.

Still leavin' out robots rules, eh. Oh well. I just got Book 8: Robots
(Thanks you know who!) and am pleased that I have that. It is a shame that
there isn't a TNE implementation of robots. However, a suggestion for the
GDW dudes: If such a supplement were to arrive, it would be really neat if
there were computer rules, program rules and robot rules all in one supplement.
Physical construction should be along the lines of FF&S (since that's the
current standard) and computer rules and robot brain rules should agree. I'm
trying to adapt the computer rules for my game without fracturing the current
specs for Robots and Ship Computers, but having little success.
Anyway, I've ranted long enough. Hope I haven't offended. In the meantime,
belated Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah and a Happy New Year!
