    I vote for Mouse's idea, unless you're planning to do overlays of that data right on the continents. In that case, maybe a list of 'current events' on the right, made to look kind of like a vertically-scrolling newsfeed type thing?

    Well, it's gonna be easier with the planets with more than one nation... The commonwealth is originally composed of various states, though. I'm probably gonna add more informations on the map itself.

    @Mouse : I like your suggestion but I don't have much place here.
    @Diamond : I also like the idea of a "current events" news feed.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'll see what I can do that can be used for all the worlds.

    I did some tests today, and I think I will finally do different panels according to each world.
    I realized it by doing Helios :

    Yeah, that totally makes sense to do different panels depending on the world type.

    If you'll take a bit of criticism: the city labels on Helios are almost impossible to read.

    Incredible!

    I've gone rushing over to download that planet tutorial

    That's only the half of it though. The way you are presenting them is just superb

    How about physical information, like atmospheric composition, radius, axial tilt, duration of day, etc.

    Yup, that's what I figured. Even if some world are likely to have similar panels. As for Helios, I feared it...
    I made the labels a bit bigger. Is it legible now?

    I hope it helps. I may improved it if necessary, don't hesitate to tell me if it's unclear or not detailed enough. And thank you about the presentation... it's gonna be quite repetitive, though.

    Except of the atmospheric composition, I placed those informations on the stellar systems map. I wanted to avoid the repetition. I'm putting the atmospheric composure for the worlds with an "exotic" non-terrestrial one.
    Don't hesitate if you have other ideas!

    For Neogea, I added political informations/labels. And a current events panel.

    I don't think you need to worry too much about the repetitive nature of the presentation. After all, that's what will tie all these worlds together. I think the different information for each one - information most relevant to that planet, is a cool idea

    The new labels are just about legible for me. Maybe its the resolution you are uploading the maps at?

    Great to see another huge, ambitious ("ilantharish") project of yours! The system maps are particularly awesome but overall the interface designs with all the information are just great. Fantastic to see you constantly refining and varying the style of your system maps from project to project over the years. Thanks for sharing your always interesting wip!

    Are you talking about the small labels of Helios or the red labels on Neogea? I don't think it's a resolution issue (jpeg artefact, a bit), so I should be able to correct it.

    Btw, I've made a mistake for the human profile (the heliotes are smaller and the mercarian a little taller)... I'll correct that too.

    @Abu Lafia : Thanks a lot, my friend ! I'm glad you find the WIP interesting.
