We will help by giving advice and if they want to do it to their own PERSONAL DS mod they are welcome. We will not be doing it for the official mod though.

It's actually very easy to scale everything to approximately the right size and it isn't really all that much work...  I believe Teal had created a little utility to easily resize any planet desired a couple of years ago.  The problem is the time involved to actually play the game at the proposed scale.  That aside, my largest concern would be the outer galaxy bubble that displays all of the stars and skyboxes.  I'm not sure how dynamic it actually is, if it's predetermined by the number of stars and planets or if it just makes itself large enough to accommodate everything inside.  Probably the latter, but no one has ever really tried to cram a bunch of over sized objects in to see if it errors out or crashes.

Most people already play the current ranges with the speeds turned up and shy away from the larger maps because it's just too much ground to cover.  Now super size it.  What took roughly 20 seconds to cross now would take 5 to 6 minutes...  Forget the time it would take to cross a gas giant, or the truly massive to scale star gravity well unless you also up scaled the speeds on all of the ships to accommodate the now much larger sizes of everything.  Also very easy to accomplish, but could very well be a turn off to people like Carbon who like the slower speeds, or it could be a non issue since you still have to cover lots of distance to make anything happen.

I personally would like to see something made to put everything to scale (officially the ships were said to be from 10 meters to 1 kilometer in length, pre entrenchment) and rebalance the speeds of everything to match the new sizes just to see how it looks and feels.  It shouldn't effect system resources gameplay wise because the resources required to run it would be the same no matter the size if you didn't care how it looked, but the low res look of the planets and any artifacts in the images would be mega sized and overly apparent, thus forcing everyone to have to use higher quality settings the larger things start to become which would add stress on already stressed systems.  Unfortunately planets and stars would have to be on the highest settings, and possibly structures too since the ship yards would have to be bigger then the ships they build, which then means that little baby structures like mines and hangers and defense guns would unnecessarily be high res as well.

If someone wants to do it, have at it...  I'd use caution since it could end up just being one frustrating mess of a project.

I think that there should be a scaling facot that adds auto res to everything, as for planets, there would be auto res fixed at certain latitudes/longitudes. Google earth uses auto res, the closer you are, the higher the ship/planet resolution. MY vision is pretty cool when you think about it, but a big fat pain to mod

Also can I make a lore map that has the birth of the advent?

[EDIT} sorry for the double post DX

Depends.  If you're participating in the lore, you can create a lore map, otherwise, it's not a lore map even if you take names of stuff from the lore.  There are rules that have to be followed with those maps.  If you're just making a map, so be it, knock yourself out, have fun, go wild.

what are the lore rules?

The lore itself?  Read the OP of that thread.  There are no strict set of rules for that, merely guidelines we would like people to follow so that artistic liberties taken by people don't end up creating a conflict that screws people out of being able to create more content.  The point is to be imaginative and fun, but still being relevant within the settings established by the game itself.

As for the maps, there is a strict set of rules which are:

1. You must be a lore poster, which requires a lore post...  An introduction of your faction with some description of it would be appreciated as well, or instead of a story piece if you don't have one wrote already, but still want to get things going.
2. You cannot do a system that has already been "explored".  This is not the same thing as claimed.  Some systems are not claimed but are already explored, some systems are claimed, and have yet to be explored (particularly in the case of NPC factions).  Reviewing the map thread is an easy way to figure out what has already been explored.
3. You must post a piece of lore to accompany the map such as a report from a scout, or your people settling in and exploring the richness of their home, etc. which also fulfills requirement 1 conveniently enough.  Simply posting a picture of the system and a link to the galaxy file is not good enough.
4. You must use the Star names, colors, and relative positions to each other, as they are already technically "explored" by anyone looking at the stars in the region.  However, exact orientation of the system/map itself is up to the creator as there's no such thing as north/south/east/west/up/down in space.
5. Minor systems must have 4 planets/moons or less, asteroids/junk/belts/wormholes/deep space/etc. do not count when adding things up.
6. Major systems must have 4 planets/moons or more, and again, asteroids/nebulas/storms/black holes/etc. do not count when adding things up.

The big region maps can be found here as well as information on how to interpret the information shown:

The political one would probably help out the most to see who's got what, Teal's faction is not listed on it yet, but she already claimed and explored Majannand...  Will probably update that sucker sometime soon if we have another lore poster.

actually what I meant was a map that shows birth of the advent, there was birth of the TEC.

A couple of notes.

One: You can create a map called Birth of the Advent and share it. Many of the custom maps included in the mod are not made by our team, I think Birth of the Trade Order included.

Two: If you wanted to give the map real story or background, you can go into the lore thread and write up a little something. The above rules are good if you want to interact with the Lore RP we have, but there are people who have written a little something just for fun. You can write something completely independent of everyone else, but we request that it fit within the mechanics and lore of the game/mod. That means no unestablished tech, sci-fi crossovers, and we frown on revealing what is chasing the Vasari, seeing that the devs haven't revealed it yet. Just make sure to label it as a personal story so no one confuses it for DS RP.

okay, is it cool if I share the map on WC and link it back here?

This map was from Celestial Bodies. Hence the "CB-" in the name. It has nothing to do with lore. 

None of the released are techically lore related. Strictly speaking about our DS lore. Except maybe Black-5.

As with mini mods, maps, lore, pictures, etc etc. Make and share to hearts content. Where you host it and such is up to you. Share it here...share it in the correct related forum topic. Share it somewhere else.

There is no rules except, copying the mod and claiming it as yours. Hence we like the mini mod idea....it lets people tweak the mod without changing the mod.

Have fun making stuff.

I might sound insane by saying this but...

is it cool that eventually, about a few months (or till my bday aug 25th) I can be part of the team?

Yes.  You do sound insane... 

Most everyone here can create playable maps and write up stuff and answer questions, so if that's all you've got, then you should learn something else like creating particles, or meshes, or display an uncanny ability and desire to not only find, but eliminate bugs in the entity files (something I do quite well)...  You know, stuff that's in demand. 

Everyone has a chance to become a team member if you have something to offer that's needed...  Or if you go to Tennessee and stalk Carbon all the while professing your undying love for him.  The more he says he doesn't like it, the more he really wants it.  It's like a test to see how easily you give up. 

^ That's how I got in!

Hey guys I keep getting the checksum of 53488652.

Any ideas, I know it's wrong....

Thanks.
