When you bring up the Nav map in the top right of the pop up box there are icons. Hover the mouse point over them and the will tell you what the lines mean. The ovals are either political areas or mineable areas. The lines indicate patrol paths. Red are hostile paths, green is allied paths, and white is neutral paths.

I didn't mean that! Geez, EVERYONE knows that!

I'm talking about the UNIVERSE map.

Those are vague approximations of the borders/influences of the major colonies (ie the circle arround Rheinland is equivlent to Rhienland space). Mind you, it's an approximation, just for those of us more used to maps with borders on them. --- VH16

I was going to say. You've been here longer than me. I thought it was a strange question

So what are those strange faint lines that appear occasionally on the maps and seem to relate to nothing. Decoration maybe???

They just didn't seem to go anywhere near the colonies: the lines shoot off to the top and bottom, the circle is seemingly nowhere in particular...

Sorry bout that, it's been a while since I really looked at the universe map that closely, what I said earlier was my first impression about what they were when I was first doing the story line and didn't have any of the systems filled in. The initial thought apparently stuck with me. Probably just decoration. --- VH16
