I am not 100% sure of the colour scheme used for each system property.

Can I ask people to play with the new features and give me constructive feedback.

For me it is somewhat difficult to visual differentiate tech levels 'close to each other' ( 15 => 14 )
Perhaps a combination of shapes (3) and less colo(u)rs (5)?

Have you taken it down?

I've just tried looking at it with my AppleMac (using both my older Waterfox & newer Firefox) - and while I can see buttons for species, etc., there are no obvious effects on selecting them - and the right hand edge of the map is missing.

But super to see an update! Thank you!


Edited to add: I'm a doophus. I mis-selected the buttons. Your colours have just come up!

But I don't seem to get the lists of what is what

Well I just tried it on Firefox on windows and I get the same issue. I will work on that. It was fine in Windows Chrome and Edge. Have you tried Safari?

The first one in that snippet sounds like an excellent choice for integration with BlOomberg Markets

I currently have an idea for an Epidemics OXP where every now and again diseases become virulent and start spreading (usually starting from worlds where the description mentions disease) and eventually blow themselves out. But as part of this would have been quarantining and getting permits for delivering medicines so getting reward points as well as money would have been a good idea. But as I said it doesn't need to be just medicines and it could be anything such as alien items or Black Box cargoes to research stations, or diplomatic documents to specific worlds, or weapons to Thargoid war zones.

, and the second might be made to work with  New Cargoes (especially the rare cargoes that are collected by one or two NPCs throughout the charts).

Sounds plausible. The difficult bit, I was thinking, would be defining how you would know who it belonged to and then how to deliver it.

I have no idea how you could help ships after having jumped to a different system, though (is that even possible? I thought only pirates and occasionally Thargoids had a chance of following you through). Did you envision something like jumping from close vicinity to a Clean ship with nearly-dead energy banks under attack by baddies? Or were you thinking of an  Interstellar help OXP scenario?

The Interstellar Help scenario is the sort of thing I was thinking about but more in system. You advertise that you are going to jump to X and then some NPC ships head towards you and follows through your wormhole. If you do this correctly you get points when you next dock (at a participating station) but it also adds the option to lie and then jump into interstellar space and ambush the craft coming through

I get the full map now, but no colouring functions at all (for old Waterfox (G4.1.2.1), new Firefox (109.0.1 - 2023) & old Safari - 13.0.5 - 2019).

Edited to add: I've just re-updated Firefox. Your map works just fine on the newest version (the other was only a couple of months older!).

Question, sir:

Is your 3D version supposed to tie in with Ahruman's unimplemented 3D galaxy generator?

(Ahruman's Github code)

Another Question: Why "PhantorGorth"? The name of a long-dead philosopher of the history of philosophy? Or of a historian of the philosophy of history? Or the gaelic term for a species of lobster? A lesser demon in the Church of Giles the Creator?

And Yet Another Question: What else had you been hoping to do with your GalCop Rewards OXP? Other than your docking fines add-on...

Problems here, PG. I guess they're browser-related (Pale Moon).

I had never heard of the that browser until you mentioned it.

Yeah, non-mainstream browsers are being squeezed out by many websites. Why? I expect you can guess. <grumbles>

And your proposed Epidemics.oxp?
