I've been looking at the map of the Spinward Marches at http://pixie.simplenet.com/astro/spinward/BigMap.htm. I know the difference between the filled circles and the empty circles is in the hydrographics of the world in question, but could someone tell mewhat level of hydrographics makes the difference? Thanks in advance.
Map Question: How much water to fill the circle?

Usually empty circles are 0 hydro, Filled circles are 1+. Thus if the planet shows a filled circle ships may use ocean refuelling there.

I am increasingly of the opinion that RPGs are by the nature of their creation subjective phenomenon. due to the interaction between game designers, game masters, and game players all definitions, rules, settings, and adventures are mutable in acordance with the uncertainty principle as expounded by Heisenburg. This is of course merely my point of view.

That actually depends. Some used Hyro 0-1, 2+. (We've found this a problem in game recently. My map shows differently from the player's map... his shows 0-1 as no water.

That is definitely a problem. Who did those maps? Are they from different publishers or are they fan maps?

They were official maps but from different years.
The maim problem was between characters as one wanted the ship jump plot have been at the high port and the other (who was navigating) wanted the gas gaint as the desitnation. As the problem was discovered when we arrived at the gas giant instead of the high port.
Leave it to a scout to get you in trouble the fastest!!!

Not one, but a great many in the marches. It is clearly a astrocartography issue, not one of changed data. The three maps in use: CT Supp 3 Spinward Marches, a CT or MT -era map of the marches (color on black), and the Domain of Deneb map from DGP (MTJ?).
Oh, and the GT trade-route maps...

So, who had which map? I think that I have all of the ones that you mentioned, but my medical condition (rampant laziness) prevents me from checking it myself....

I use the MTJ Domain of Deneb map.
Shadowbear uses the CT era map.
Peter Newman uses the GT tradeflow maps, due to the upp's.
When in the marches we also used the MT PM map.

I always thought the differences and inconsistencies were a feature.
