Hi all,
Having done maps for other online and single-player games over the last 15 or so years, I decided I'd give it a go for X3: Reunion.
The maps I've made come in different sizes and resolutions, are easy on the eyes in terms of color, and print well even on a single sheet of paper. They follow the color scheme from the original XFP map, which I found very understandable and easy to remember. Sector gates are included in a special version of the map, and impassable borders are marked on all versions. Currently only PDF versions are available, so make sure you get yourself a copy of Acrobat Reader if you don't already have it!
There are two map types: a "spoiler version" which has icons marking all stations (Equipment Docks, Shipyards, Temples, Pirate Bases, Special Facilities, and the Terracorp HQ). The other is a "non-spoiler version", which has everything hidden, so that the fun of exploration and challenge of remembering (or tracking it yourself) is still there. I will be trying to keep both map types updated with corrections and any new bonus pack info that might be released.
If anyone would like to do translations of text on the maps, I'd be glad to do different language versions, just send me a PM so we can talk. Additionally I have spoken with other package teams regarding producing custom universe maps, so if I didn't contact you and you'd like one for your team project, let me know via PM.
