Post Wiki Map
Who updates the wiki map? :?

The other day, I asked this in chat; the most common answer(s) were nobody :shock: or smartass comments... :P

I'd be willing to volunteer if someone can give me step by step instructions about how... For example, I am guessing I'd need a skeletal diagram. I will go through and fill in the names of the galaxies... :idea:

Thanks...

True story.

It has been left untouched since the HQ system was added making it totally useless.

It is nice to see a new player both interested in the wiki and volunteering to help. Unfortunately, you have not chosen the best project, since most teams just scout the whole universe for themselves. In case you didn't know, docking at your team's HQ updates your map with what your team has explored so far. The scouting task may seem daunting but fast and stealthy scoutships make things much easier. :)

I am sure there are plenty of projects that would be both more helpful and less tedious, though. Perhaps a resident wiki guru can weigh in?

Post Re: Wiki Map
Hey everybody - Thanks for all the suggestions. I thought I would volunteer, simply bc there are so many requests for directions. And no shortage of irritation when ppl keep asking. I thought an updated map would be a good resource for everyone. I guess I bit off more than I could chew. While I have done my share of Wiki edits, I have no experience with images.

:oops:

Battlecruiser - I had NO IDEA there were that many!! I've mapped most of W1. So I guess this project is a bit out of my league.

Apologies to all.... :oops:

People only ask incessantly for directions at uni start. Give it a week.

I only have a few more gals in wild space left but pretty much maped everything ^,^

Doesn't take much to map it, it just takes a lot of time. Even at 700 speed :D

Put alts on other large teams before reset and you get the whole map on the first day. If your team is reasonably decent most teams will oblige the request out of mutual benefit.
