UWP Changes

Rob,

FYI, your Diaspora Sunbane map has problems. I rechecked the column I did yesterday and noticed that the map ends at hex 38 in each column. This cuts off something on the order of 25 worlds in the sector.

Me fix... hang on...

OK, there's a PostScript version of Diaspora there now (sorry the ps2pdf converter site appears to be down...).

Or show me otherwise. I've always assumed the only TL 16 world in the classic Imperium is Darrian, plus some bizarre TL 17 non-interstellar interdicted world as well. Period. Am I wrong?
As far as I can tell, Vincennes/Deneb is a well-developed TL-16 world. I will not fight a "regression" to TL-15 for the 990-1065 time period, but it is a well established TL-16 world.

Sabmiqys is the TL-17 world you are thinking of. I think it is in the Antares sector.

Now that's fast service!! :D

UPDATE - Got it from another source - thanks, Rob!
 
Okay, here is a strange thing, Rob - I printed out the PS file and started working on that. I went back and checked the updated PDF that you posted and noticed an anomaly - Hex 0120 in the PS file did not have a base marking, but the PDF has a designation of "A".


I may have to scrap what I'm doing and start this again...

Oh - and the PDF again cuts of the bottom two rows (39 & 40)

UPDATE - the only differences between the PS file and the PDF file that were posted are these:

0120 - Base code of A in PDF, nothing in PS
0410 - Base code of A in PDF, nothing in PS
2322 - Base code of A in PDF, nothing in PS
1838 - System present in PS, missing in PDF
 
Preliminary Sector Report for Diaspora Sunbane:

This data was based on the Diaspora.PS file that was available on robject's site for a while today, as both the PDF files that I tried to download cut off the last two rows in the sector. The only anomaly that I have found (so far) was the 0120 base inconsistency between the two Sunbane maps. I am going to look for more.

In any case, below are the inconsistencies between the PostScript Sunbane map and AotI for Diaspora. I will also cross-check with the Astrogator's Guide to Diaspora Sector and/or the TNE Diaspora map.

As always, AotI data is displayed below.

Yep - I have it now. I probably had to refresh the cache on the other machine. I accessed it again from my laptop and it looks OK. I am going to recheck the inconsistencies noted above and let you know if anything turns up.

Here is something interesting - I did a spot-check comparing subsector A of Diaspora in AotI to subsector A of Diaspora as depicted in the Astrogator's Guide.

Most of the differences are differences in starport and/or present bases, so I am not worried about that, given that the Guide is supposed to depict the Hard Times era c. 1125.

The map depicts three world types - Water Present (blue), No Water Present (white) and Asteroid. I went under the assumption that the definitions between the two products were the same.

Hydrographic 'inconsistencies':

0202
0501
0608
0410

And just by glancing at the other subsectors, I am sure that there are other similar odditites. Is this even worth pursuing?
 
Here's an amusing thing: Atlas of the Imperium has no system presence at Core 0140.

EDIT
Someone might want to double check this:
3118 Core in AOTI appears to be 'LIMIKI', not 'LIMIK'.

Sector Report for Core Sunbane

Few errors, except for Reference being missing, a misnamed world, and perhaps two worlds which were supposed to have water but were marked dry.

The corrected sector also has mainworld names merged in from Sunbane's names (which were largely preserved) and T4's names (some of which were accepted as-is, and some of which were tweaked a bit).
 
Latest Status

Daibei corrections have been propagated, and many of the references have been added to the sector file as well. Capital worlds, when obvious, have also been noted.

EDIT Diaspora has been updated as well.

I've got the AGD as well. I don't recall actual UWP data -- which would answer your question, I suspect.

That's actually well known; the tongue-in-cheek write-up of Reference in TD#10 has this to say:

In fact, Reference is traditionally not shown on maps of the Imperium, because by definition all points in the Imperium are measured from this point of "Reference". (This explains the change in name from the original Mamatava to Reference at the time of the Second Grand Survey.)
Those cartographers, the sneaky devils. Hiding a planet in plain view.
 
Of course, by "well known" I mean "by people who've spent far too much of their lives staring at Core sector and/or analyzing and using astrographic data"
