Note this image is a CONCEPT not a real map, it merely shows the ideas of colours and balancing:
The basic ideas on this map is NOT to specifically show planet by planet but rater the influence of a faction in any given area " grid block"
" at a glance" any member can get an idea on the balance, and RP admins can at a glance figure out how hard it would be to move in and out of an area too.
an example is: a contested-hutt dominated area would make it hard for me to move without surveillance or something loyal to the hutts being able to give a heads up of our movements, or other eases of movement in an area.
so how would it work?
the maps to show regional influence rather than planet to planet, colours with lines in it being " contested, but dominated by______" areas
Idea being if you control majority of the key planets in the grid, you basically control the region
so if say a grid has 4 major worlds, and you have 3.. you basically control the area
if it's like 50/50 or less it's considered contested with majority influence going to the former holders.
to gain blocks you need the key worlds of that system in majority and you take that block.....
so say the republic entered.. oooh Q-2 and there are 4 key worlds, and we win two.... the system is contested, but it's natural that the hutts having been there longer have the upper hand in influence until we take another world....
it would only apply to block q-2 not give me anything in block q-1 or 3
and more over it's easy to read, and even easier to update as needed to stay up to date for all members to see.
