Mr. Bell's website is amazing. It changed the way I think of the Traveller universe both in the game and in writing. Before Josh Bell, Charted Space was different sectors detailed in different books. After Josh Bell it's a coherent universe with relationships that only become apparent when you scan across it.
I concur. The website made Chartered Space more accessible than ever before. The amount of data is staggering, but you can search, plot routes, and (almost) everything is linked to the Traveller Wiki as well! This is a gaming tool other settings can and should envy! 😊
This is the single best application for Traveller ever written. It's absolutely stunning. And I really want to hear Marc's response to: "Years ago, when you wrote 'The Imperium is made up of 11,000 worlds' did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine you would see them all laid out on screen in a single application?" 😉
Love the website and use it alot.. i wish though the systems would graphically mapped so we could the actual systems laid out i.e seeing the planets and suns and orbits graphically for each system
I'd help fund getting the poster maker to give us tools to make maps through drop-down tabs to fill the data. I've only read the Mongoos 2e system construction and am struggling.
I tried just dropping in the trader format following the guide on the site. Didn't render anything. So, I tried converting to the T5. But I don't have T5 books, so some categories I don't know all the options. And then there's the XML meta deta I haven't even touched yet.

that would be cool
That is somewhat there with the Traveller Worlds add-on, though procedurally generated for each system.
You want Heaven and Earth incorporated into Travellermap.
Sure, no problem! 😮😮😮 😀
@@HyphenDJW Earth's already there.

Which part are you struggling with?
