THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

Map
Welcome Pilot. I am Zhilaa Katdinal, Divisional Chief of the TRI
Bureau of Stellar Cartography. I've heard you needed some help
using your sector map, and I was hoping we could work out some sort
of.... deal. You see, I helped design that system, so I can tell you
everything you need to know about it. The thing is, we're a little light
on sector information from The Gurge...
This documentation briefly reviews basic map usage and functions.
The map can be accessed in flight by pressing 'm', or in station by
pressing the button labeled 'map' in the upper right hand corner.
Some pilots prefer to have a hard copy map on hand, just incase their
in flight systems should fail. TRI's most current 2D map can be found
under the "TRI Files" subheading of the flight academy.
TRI Sector Map Module
The standard TRI sector map module come pre-installed on all ships,
and can be accessed from any station. Activating the map will display
a 3D representation of every known sector.
This module consists of four main components and functions: a 3D
map display, waypoints, visibility options, and view controls.
3D Map Display
The map display is the core object of the map module. This display
contains three basic objects: sectors, stations, and jumppaths. Right
clicking on a sector or station will zoom in on the selected object.
Sector - Represents a known space location.
Color changes depending on sector control.
Station - Represents a space station. Colored
per faction.
Jumppath - A blue line that represents the
space spanned by jumpgates.
