i created a new approach to mapping adjacent solarsystems and applied special styling for FW systems:
http://eveeye.com/?opt=M&system=Pynekastoh

Legend:
Solarsystem Symbol Color: Color of faction holding sovereignty
Solarsystem Name Color: Color of native faction
Solarsystem Symbols:
Dot = Unoccupied
Star = Contested
Triangle = Occupied

I am looking forward to hearing some feedback of FW pilots, if it's any use at all and what should/could be done to make it more useful. thanks a lot!

Latest Addition
Pre-Dust 514 addition : Map will mark Dust514 home systems (dust npc corp homes).
Pre-Dust 514 addition : Map will now show number of Temperate planets beside solarsystemname.

Welp, I do like how it shows the # of jumps in the concentric circles, so that's cool. I like how you can zoom in and out and move the map around. It's intuitive.

There are a couple of problems I see so far in ease of use. When I take a look at Eha, it shows something that looks like a single line from iralaja to raihbaka. If you zoom in closer though, you can tell it's multiple lines, but those are quite confusing to look at.

Also, when you click on Martoh, you see a straight line from innia to Nennamalia. I know there's jumps off of akidagi, but it's not showing them.

Hope this helps

thats really cool. Full-window mode would be awesome for the map. keep up the good work!

edit: oh wait. you can hide the side panels and the header... nice

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

seems i took a bad approach in programming the adjacencies. there are obvious inconsistencies the farther a solarsystem is away from the center. ... back to the drawing board. thanks for checking. bbl

when i max out the size of the map by hiding the panels. The lines are cliped away at the sides. System description however is rendered. (have a wide screen)

it doesnt resize after you maxed the view at the moment (will do that when i fixed the bugs)
but if you load the map (clicking the adjacent systems button) after you maxed the view it will be rendered using all available space

rewrote the structure which cleared the missing connection bugs and increased performance on the way.
ready for new feedback !

I like it! I'll try to use it tonight as I'm playing and see if it's intuitive as dotlan!

two things:
- if you use it the first time you land on an about page. The intention is good but its problematic if you want to share a direct link via chat
- could you add the & url option to load the page with all sidebars collapsed (map only)?

fixed. about page gets loaded in the right pane like it should have in that case

i had that feature disabled since i was in doubt that people would find the other panes then... anyway. enabled it again.

Very nice tool. Would be nice to see a colored overlay or something along the edges, to allow you to know which region/system outside of FW the pipe ends at...maybe with a faded or opaque text off the edge signifying this.

It works on my phone. I like it Big smile
