Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but here goes..

Working on the "add your own system" thoughts:

In the universe.ini file, every system is listed (i think).
For example:
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>[system
nickname=Li01
file=Systems\Li01\Li01.ini
pos=7, 8
msg_id_prefix=gcs_refer_system_Li01
visit=1
strid_name=196609
ids_info=66106
</font></pre>
Is liberty.

Notice the line "pos=7,8" <-- this is where the system shows up on the nav map.
Now, from what I have found, the nav map is 15x15.

so.. The leeds system will be at 2,9, New London @ 2,11, etc..

I droped my new system at 8,9, right above cortez, and to the left of new york.

Now, to modify the DLL's to add my own names.. haha..
