Wiki update: Trade map update project

[tjoneslo]

Following the announcements of the updates to the T5 Second Survey data as posted to TravellerMap, I felt it was time to update the Trade maps.

The Nroute.c code, while functional, is getting long in the tooth. I rewrote the process from the ground up, in PyRoute, putting the source into github and in open source.

This new version of the trade route generation, written in python, reads the new T5 Second Survey data formats, produces more data, including passenger traffic, starport sizes, army sizes, and more detailed data about trade and trade routes.

So with the Trade Map update project, This data is being pushed into the Wiki for everyone to enjoy. I've started with the Spinward Marches.

Specific Changes are:

• The Trade Map (PDF) has been updated,
• The data file has been updated with new data for each world in the sector. You can see
• The subsector data has been updated.
• The sector data has been updated.
• The Trade map summary has been updated

The project will continue to update the remaining 131 sectors with charted data. The remaining Imperial sectors are first on the list, and I'll update this message when this is complete. And I'll do further updates as time continues.

Questions or feedback are always welcome.

And if you are interested in the PDF maps of a larger area, or want to see several sectors of the generated data files, but don't feel like a) waiting for me to post the data and b) doing a lot of clicking to download them, send me a note. I can email you the files you want to see.

I've updated the Imperial sectors and subsectors with their information, trade maps, and data files. Over the coming days and weeks, I will be updating the other 104 sectors with their maps, data, and information. If there are other sectors you'd like see updated sooner rather than later, drop me a note. Otherwise enjoy.

All of the sectors with real sector data have been updated. The trade maps are included, the data in the pages are corrected and the sector data have been re-updated.

I've gotten some good feedback on the data and maps. I also know there may be another set of canon updates to the sector data. So I may be doing another update for the maps and data, but probably not for a couple of months.
