Map Distance Increase?

Spent most of the day placing and labelling all the the systems from the old map. Left out the unnamed systems though. *Yawns*

Still have to paint in most of the nebula, unfortunately, which is time consuming. Probably takes anywhere from 5-20 minutes for each one; and there are a lot of them. LOL

Anywhosit; I shrunk the maps resolution down a little so that it should be quicker to load in a web browser. Hopefully, the loss of detail won't be that big of a deal. As is, the current map should be usable at least for planning trips and judging distances between the different solar systems now :)

FYI on the current main map, the large red text is zones of the Yamatai Star Empire. I see it's used for clusters/regions here. I wasn't sure if you realized.

I'm really liking the idea of ditching all the unlabeled systems and just putting them on the map when we need one.
