1. Has anyone has ever drawn up a "real-life" star map (one with real
nearby stars, not fictional ones). I'm planning to draw one up using
Star Trek Star Charts (G. Mandel) as a basis.
2. How does one come up with the formula for the average distance
between two neighboring points (1.12 × cube root of (V/N)), given the
volume (V) and the number of points (N)? (Where does the 1.12 come
from and what does it represent?) (ref: GURPS Space 4e, sidebar, p. 72)
3. What are the number of stars and the volumes of space covered in
Space Atlas 3 & 4 (I've heard SA4 is double-size with 49 stars). I
have SA1 & 2: 28 & 25 stars (respectively) in a volume of 40×32×32
parsecs (Z-axis size assumed).
