    Oy! Glad you pointed that out. I was just about to print it :eek:

    Suri, awesome job. Did you do your print on plain paper, or photo paper? Just curious about the dry time you mentioned. :D

    I printed on photo paper. I will upload a newer version with some typo fixes soon. I traked down the Orias typo reason too, the official map that came with the collecters edition has it and thats what I used when labeling the secters ;-)

    Could you update the black-on-white print version with the missing system names (In Gamma Orionis etc...)?
    Thx a bunch. Great map, essential to any player. I've printed it in 5 copies and gave it to all my friends who play.

    Since the old thread was nuked, I'll repost the Star Chart I made,

    Suricata's Star Chart - Colour

    And here is a printable version as well, I recommend printing on A3 paper (or 2 peices of A4 stuck together) for ease of use.

    Suricata's Star Chart - Black & White

    There are a few mistakes on it atm, I am working to add fleet actions.

    For thos that wish to print out the starchart in colour, here is a high resolution version:-

    Suricata's Star Chart - High Res






    Update: Added System list and sector blocks
    Update 2: Corrected a few typos, created a printable version.
    Update 3: Added Borg Systems, Ganalda Station, Redid Starfield and created higher resolution version

    I must say I love your work. I was wondering if you mind if I post these links on our Fleets website for those of us that get lost

    Suricata, you do some amazing work. :D

    I printed these out and find myself referring to them constantly.

    Thanks for the effort in creating some amazingly useful tools!

    Bear in mind that Suri mentioned looking for a website to host the files, as the current URL's are subject to change because of how Wordpress handles files.

    I'm not saying it's a bad idea to post the links, just that you'll want to keep an eye on this thread for any updated information, as the most current files will have different URL's until they're moved away from Wordpress.

    I love the charts, and hate to criticize in any way...

    But, aren't the Zephyr/Steamrunner and Oslo/Norway drawings a bit off? I was super excited to see these on the chart, but when I got around to buying them on my RA Eng (just couldn't wait to level my tac officer) I found the cryptic models rather... 'modernized', and differing greatly from the models I love, which are present on your chart.

    Regardless, great work and thank you.

    I've been going over the systems on the test server so all the new ones can be added, also adding Fleet Action locations (For Klingons and Starfleet). Most of my spare time is going into testing on the test server right now though, as well as working on anew ship chart to include the new Klingon and C-Store ships.

    Currently working on a new higher resolution version which will include all the new ships from the Klingon side, as well as the C-store. I'm also working on adding ship costs as well as a small information window on console stats (since that seems to be an area a few people have issues with skills wise). I'm also adjusting how consoles look on the chart so they are a bit easier to differenciate. For now though, here are the new klingon ships on the test server that I've taken screenshots of for your viewing pleasure. :-)

    New Klingon Ships

    Please remember, the ship chart, due to the nature of MMO's, is a constant work in progress, so if you see an error, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for improvements or stats they feel are important to see, feel free to suggest them either here on the forums or ingame.

    Yes I'm using the regular Steamrunner and Norway side views at the moment, I will probably draw more correct ones eventually, but for now I'm focusing on the ships I have no side views drawn of yet :-)

    Cheers Suricata, we cahtted a bit last night near the Sibirian system. :-)

    I have a suggestion, maybe you already thought of it...
    - Can you put the shields value on ships? Let's say, for standardising's sake, with a plain, common Shield Array, maximum Mark for that Tier. For example, for Heavy Escorts, Heavy Cruisers and Res.Science use Mk VI. I know it's a bit of a work, especially with the ship bug - showing the values from the last bought ship, not the currently selected, but it could complement your chart nicely. I volunteer to supply you with all the different Marks of Shield Arrays, from Mk II to Mk X.

    As I mentioned previously, I'm working on a new higher res version of the chart, I've also been reorganizing it to take into account the new ships that will be added in the upcoming content patch. Please bare in mind this is still a work in progress as I still haven't drawn up all the side views yet.

    Suricata's Ship Tier Chart V.20

    Additions to the new chart:-
    • New Rank Icons to closer imitate the STO feel
    • New Bridge Officer Icons with the STO uniform
    • New Layout to allow more space for new ships
    • Weapon damage type guides
    • Science Console stats guide
    • Ship Costs added
    • Re-adjusted Klingon ship stats as per the test server
    • Remade console icons to be easier to read. It should now be more obvious what consoles a ship has
    • Increased the charts resolution so that it can be printed out in a much better quality

    I am aware that the chart is now not as easy to read when it is used as a desktop image, sadly, this was unavoidable due to the amount of information present. I will be working on the new Klingon ships, as well as the last 7 Starfleet ships over the coming week, so expect more updates soon. :-)

    *Bows to Suricata once again*

    Thank you so much once again. This does help me with some future decisions I'll have to make fairly soon. Thank you again Suricata.

    I'll be re-adding the runabout and TOS Connie in the next version, I just didn't get around to putting it on the new version yet. :-)

    Very nice update. Did like the old style better, but I can see why that'd pose problem with new ships.

    Anyways, why is there a Klingon symbol in the upper- and leftmost field? :p

    Both fixed in the next release, thanks for pointing these out. The more errors found, the better, as I can fix them then :-)
