I used the Map on Page 230 of the Prima Guide to make my Emulator Updated Galaxy Map for E&B...this is the new "Vertical Oriented Map" according to Westwood's original concept of the layout of the E&B galaxy....

This Old Concept map is one of the ones i used in my updated Horizontal Remake of the E&B Emulator Map Check it out here.... [url="http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/"]http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/[/url]

Original circles for each planet, etc were drawn by hand and scanned to Photoshop. All the lines and lettering was Photoshop, then all the main sector outlines (Gallina, Beta Hydri, etc) were drawn in Photoshop. Then the map was printed out on high quality paper at 1200 dpi resolution and hand colored with professional art colored pencils and re-scanned at 1200 dpi back to Photoshop. The Vertical map original circles were traced from the original E&B Galaxy Map in the official Prima Guide book to E&B. Westwood Studios envisioned the layout at a vertical map, which this map reproduces. The Horizontal map original circles were traced from the enbmaps.de map print-out.

---->> Boycotted all EA Games since 2004 when they bought Westwood and immediately announced they were closing Earth & Beyond down in 6 months......all part of a regular business plan of "buy up the competition and close them down" . I will never send money to support this company. BTW...I also closed my Bank of America accounts. Thank you EA for opening my mind to the power I have to transform the world by where I spend my money.

I've created two new maps updated with all the latest Emulator information combined also with information from the original E&B "Concept" Map information from Beta. One map is a horizontal map....layout similar to other E&B maps out there....the other map is a vertical map based on the original design of the layout of the galaxy from E&B itself in the Official Prima's Guide to Earth & Beyond.

---->>>>Boycotted all EA Games since 2004 when they bought Westwood Studios, took over Earth & Beyond and Immediately announced they would be closing it down in 6 months....all because it was competition to a new sports game they were coming out with. Even though my one action doesnt seem to have brought the ugly monster down to its knees.....it sure makes me feel a whole lot better about myself.

Ive made a few changes to both maps and reuploaded them to photobucket.....go check them out: [url="http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/"]http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/[/url] [color=#800080][size=5][font=georgia, serif]RIANA[/font][/size][/color]

Glad you like I Woodstock. Looks really terrific printed on glossy photopaper stock....

This one is a vertically aligned map based on the original Earth and Beyond Galaxy Map on page 230 of the official Primus Guide for E&B. A problem I had been noticing with all the maps out there so far (mine included) was that the sector gates did not align with the direction of the zone you were gating to. For instance: If I am in Akerons Gate and want to go to Saturn, the map shows Saturn to the northwest, but the game show the Saturn Gate to the south...or if I want to go to the Aragoth gate (toward Freya), the gate in-game is to the north of me, but the map shows Freya to the south. Then I noticed in the old Prima Guide book, they show a galaxy map that is aligned more vertical with all the sectors in different positions that make all the gates in-game line up properly with the map. So, this is primarily what I wanted to do...create a map based on the original design of the galaxy by Westwood Studios themselves in how they envisioned the galaxy to look, reflected in the gate alignments in the game correctly related to the position of the galactic sectors on the Map.[/background][/font][/color] [color=#D3D3D3][font=Helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(51, 51, 51)]So, this map is a new unique addition to the Game.

Ok...so south Neptune removed and corrected map now reposted: [url="http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/?action=view&current=FinalEBMAPwtouchstonelinesBlackHoles200resolutionerasedneptune.jpg"]http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/?action=view&current=FinalEBMAPwtouchstonelinesBlackHoles200resolutionerasedneptune.jpg[/url]

Ahh..I see the problem with Neptune. The original E&B Concept Map has Neptune coming off of Saturn. All the maps since then....and in-game in Emulator, have Neptune coming off of Uranus. That cause the double entry on my map. I will be removing the south Neptune connected to Saturn and repost this map soon.

All the maps I have referenced show the Mondara Maelstrom was off of Tarsis. The emulator doesnt show either connector to the maelstroms either SE or Tarsis, so impossible to check by visiting there at this point.

LOL...your right Ryle. Two Neptunes. Lets take a poll....which Neptune should I remove? The high north Neptune or the south Neptune?

I am editing this original post with an updated corrected map as per the comments in the string which follows. [url="http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/?action=view&current=FinalEBMAPwtouchstonelinesBlackHoles200resolutionerasedneptune.jpg"]http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh596/ashiata1/?action=view&current=FinalEBMAPwtouchstonelinesBlackHoles200resolutionerasedneptune.jpg[/url] This Galaxy Map is the final result of a number of maps I have done for myself to help me navigate through E&B more effectively. This version is a combination of a few maps: 1). The original E&B "Concept" Map with various sectors and planets I had never heard of before and which were never added to the game before it closed. 2). Elements of the enbmaps.de map site. 3). Elements of the enbx.com map site. All combined together in a Mega Map. You will see all the concept map sectors and planets and their proposed connections to the regular sectors we are familiar with. All sectors not currently included in the E&B Emulator as we are now playing it still have all their travel connections indicated but with dotted lines to show they aren't open yet. I am currently working on a more correct map where all the sectors are correctly placed related to each other in reference to how E&B originally laid out the structure of the galaxy in the Prima's Guide book and which is reflected in the in-game map system connections. I want to make it as accurate as I can. I also want to include the mobs and mining types and levels per sector as well as indicate what level devices, weapons and components are available at each station of each sector. Its a massive project...so don't expect it by next week. I will have to fly to many of these areas and catalog this myself. Happy Travels and Fly Safe! Ashiata PS) I could not load this map to photobucket because it was too big (resolution 1200). So the version posted was resized to a 200 resolution. I have a larger scale map I made that prints on two 8.5 x 11" sheets which you have to tape together. If anyone would like this version, let me know and I will make a 200 resolution copy and post the link in this string. PPS) Please let me know if there are any mistakes or anything left out of this map, etc. I will fix ASAP and repost.
