Anyone here have any information on either the latest Gliese (3.0 IIRC) or something better/more accurate out there? Preferably in MS Word/Excell/Access format or easily transferable.

I picked up from NASA about two years ago the Gliese and other data in their Selected Astronomical Catalogs.

What I really loved about 2300 was the accuracy of the starmap, and the use of REAL stars.

Also check out this link it is WONDERFULL:

To Winchell Chung's great site.

WARP98, the 2300AD astronavigation software includes a Gilese 3 file, allowing play in a Gilese 3.0 universe (you need to slightly up the max. SW range though or the French Arm disappears).

I have an HTML Gliese 3 NSL and a PDF NSM in last April's update to my web site .

In addition to the problem Bryn mentions with getting the French Arm started, some of the stars from Gliese 2 have moved in Gliese 3. In extreme cases they'e disappeared.
 
How much of a difference would it make if the stutterwarp distance was changed to 8.7 or 8.9 ly as was possible for one of the Trilon vessels in the first edition of 2300?

A huge one. Earth is now in range of UV Ceta and Alpha Canis Majoris. To put that another way, the far reaches of the latin finger are one "jump" away. Kafer space and the American arm interconnect massively.

It a fairly major structural change, interconnecting everyone a lot more.
