What software and/or programs did you use to create the large maps? What did you find useful?

All done in Adobe Illustrator. A little hard to get your head around if your background is Photoshop but very powerful.

Good to hear. I am very interested in map making. Any tips for it in Illustrator?

DK did most of the hard work; I've kind of hacked around with Illustrator. But I learned Photoshop that way and ... kinda recommend it? Just take on a project and figure it out step by step -- it'll be messy but you'll learn and even have fun.

Hi! Thanks for the info and changelog, really appreciate the effort on this. Question, do you know why Rentor isn't on the map?

Not everything in the appendix is mapped, but things not on the map still exist.

I’m curious what went into the decision to add a planet that’s in the appendix to the map or not? Was it based on popularity? Whether the planet is “hidden” in lore (e.g. Tanalorr)?
