Creating new star systems...

How can I create new star systems? I opened up a *.map file in winaxe and my first thought was "OMG". My second thought was "OMG, WTF is that all about?!?" My third thought was "How the hell I´m going to do ALL THIS?!". Is there a step-by-step tutorial of how to do it? Or a program that can be used for creating systems?

GOT IT!!! Accidentially found some useful tools that came with Middlestates cluster download from Epic Development section. I wonder if they were included intentionally?

Yes, please do use them to make a new star system or two. And you are just in luck. There are several active threads just below this one discussing how to setup the Nebula and star patterns for the sky in your new systems.

GT, you might want to make a point of mentioning the actual geogSDK download. Even just the SDK without all the new info makes system map creation a breeze. It's pretty much the core of everything geography happening here right now.

OK, I´ve almost finished my first system.Almost because:
1. The asteroid field don´t show up. The line in .csv file is as follows:
Belt,Scylla,Alpha,2e10,61,0,0,0,0,0,2e10,5,
Anithing wrong with it?
2. There is almost no traffic. Does traffic needs some scripts?
3. I need to add the backround nebula, but how do I apply it?
