  1. Further update...
    Needs a lot more work, yes. I figured out from the cues in various episodes of the series and licensed works from which I've been deriving clues that...well, the area I needed to address is bigger than I thought it was. Also, changed up symbology choice for nebulae and clusters.

  2. Update on progress...
    @TrentL The text box I've since added is meant to imply/explain that my focus here is on history, not astrography. This map is meant as an adjunct to a work of fan fiction designed as a historical text. The "Romulan Neutral Zone" line - like most of the positions of star systems and bases depicted - is meant to mirror the material I'm sourcing, specifically Star Trek: Star Charts and Star Trek: Stellar Cartography (Second Edition). Yes, that border was hand-corrected to match it as well.

    As for the cluster/nebula zones, I have a limited number of suitable Styles to work with here. I would like to get my hands on a wider range of such Styles for further experimentation.

  3. I'm working up a historical starmap for a fan fiction project, with data adapted from Star Trek, and stylistic cues from the old Dent's Canadian/School Atlas' front half material, which was usually produced in black and white with usage of tones and/or spot colours. This is intended to be ink-usage-friendly for other fans' purposes. I expect to creative derivative works devoted to marking systems particularly notable for "key" resources specific to that mythology, and possibly other spin-offs as well.

    I'm working in Affinity Designer 1.10.6 because that's as far as my hardware and budget will currently allow.

    I guess I'm looking for additional "tone"/"Style" resources that may be particularly useful for this project. If you have any recommendations...?
