As revealed at CitizenCon 2015, the Star Map is now live, and it's...AWESOME! (I seem to be using that word far too much lately with regards to SC stuff!).

The Star Map will be available both in-game and through the RSI website, as well as via the API (eventually), and you can play with it on the website now!

Heres the official demo video:

Here's the CommLink on the map:

The GUI looks impressive and full-featured yet intuitive. I like it :D

Been playing with this and without yet having a use for it, it does seem pretty good, which is encouraging for early stages.

Found an interesting version of the map rendered as a 2D 'tube' map:

I can already see some jump points that are going to be camped 24/7 :p Do we know anything about trade hubs as of yet?

Keep in mind that this is a 'starting' list of known jump points, far more will be discovered, so it will reduce camping opportunities.   Trade hub info is also too early, we know some of the systems and what they do, but nothing is actually guaranteed to be in a final position, so the trade hubs and jump points might move before release!
