I would like to take this time to officially announce the site Cartographers Guild is developing to house the repository of Sector and System data we have been collecting for a while. Much of this data has been stored in spreadsheets and being converted over. Much more is being added with new survey tools.

This site will always be open to all. There is a Login section. This is just for the people who are actively surveying with the provided tools. We are just using the Miners-guild domain as a easy place to house and a quick easy domain to use.

In this site we are making all systems (3 sectors or closer) to Apollo available. Not all systems have been surveyed, but we are slowly working on expanding the database. We estimate there are close to 3000 systems and 30,000+ objects that will be part of the this database. If you have spreadsheets of surveyed systems, please contact me. I can reformat and upload them to the database directly.

Things documented on site already:

1. Asteroid Fields.
2. Specific System data including planetoid soil samples.
3. Sectors (Sector contents).

This is just the start. The site will continue to grow and we will work at better ways to display data as we go. Much is still under construction and databases are ever growing.

If you have ideas or problems, please let me know.

We also hope this helps to bring back so much of the data that was lost during the collapse. By making it open to all, it reduces the chance of it all being lost again in the future. The UNCA does not own this information, we, the citizens of the galaxy do. We will work to always make the data from these sectors close to Apollo available to all.

Nice !^^
Do you want to scan all planets, or are habitable planets in the database enough ?^^

We eventually want all planetoids within 3 sectors. I will be developing a Survey tool very soon for systems. I already have one for Asteroid fields.

Great Job, now CWA can stop asking for our fields in chat and use all of these ones instead.

Until I lock out certain IPs.

I do not deal with Prom stealers.

He was the one who took all those prom fields? Or am I misreading what you said.

Are you going to be able to use the Dump txt file? I mean after Jam remembers to use better delimiters

I will use it either way. One way will have me considering returning to using guttural slang, while the other way will have me singing praises to Jam as I work. It is up to Jam which way I go.

This could be my entry into the fall. Every time I would work with the dump file, I could become more dark. Bringing that attitude with me in my connections with others in real life and virtual. Instead of the always positive and never ranting self, I could turn to one who rants and responses to words like "elite" in forceful ways.

Or I could stay my pleasant self, ever more cheery and smiling. My whole life direction hinges on this one decision of Jam. I have no responsibility for my future. It is all sitting on Jam's shoulders.

Again, I will use the data. Please send me your files. I will convert them for the website and get them uploaded. I have not fallen to the dark side yet, so I will say thanks and, yet again, we have a way to all work together to pull together a tool that will be a benefit for all now and in the future. There are approximately 30,000 planets/moons we need surveys from. Lots to do. It has room to document Gas Giants too.

I will be starting on a System Search Tool today that will allow us to search the system tables for the criteria we want.

dump

Soil samples can be dumped into a file on your hard drive.

dump soilsamples


When executed, it will tell you the path to find the file and a file prefix of soilsampledump-######, where ###### is a big number.

File dump location could be in:

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\LocalLow\Fluffy Kitten Studios\Ascent_ The Space Game\

I would like for those who have a soil sample dump to email it to me so I can continue to build up the database of systems.

PM me here or the MG forums with it attached, email it to robert at martz.us. Replace the " at " with @. Trying to avoid a few spambots.

Just tell me which systems you want left out of the database. Happy to do any filtering.

I considered making a script available to all to reformat it, but my format would be specific for the database and I am not sure about letting everyone upload after resorting the file. One bad field could damage the entire database. So I would like to sort, verify then upload them to the database.

LOL, it's just that RAM doesn't like me, and he apparently thinks I took the prom fields, even though I have better things to do than spend countless hours finding prom fields.
