  ie - i mean the swirling cones, not the actual badlands map.

  
  Don't know the name, but it looks kind of ugly in regular space, someone used it on a map when the foundry was still on tribble.

  There's no way to create the swirling storm effect in the editor. You just have to use the Badlands map and cover up the planets.
  
  Also, this is a necro thread.

  Save the Foundry!

  
  "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

  Yes, there are swirling cones. The badlands backdrop, if I recall, is the actual map. The swirling cones come under the backdrop list, I believe.
  
  I have put them together before but I am away from the PC now so can't check.
  
  (OK, I had a look and you need...
  
  MAP:
  Space > Pre-Made Map > 'Badlands Space'
  
  BACKDROP:
  change 'Stars Only 01' to 'Badlands Space'
  
  THAT will give you cones.)

  if all you want is the swirly effect, just use the badlands backdrop, you don't need to use the badlands map itself.
