The real galactic map of the Milky Way

[Species25899]

I don't know whether it is possible to use this map for a mod according to the 'laws of science'.

We have an observation shadow of the galactic core. Powers (especially their ships) located on opposite sides of the core could/should be invisible for eachother.

The galactic core should be almost impossible to travel due to a very large black hole and neutron stars.

Just an idea.

Well the game already allows for a spiral configuration for the galaxy (it shows up best on the larger maps) and to create the conditions you want for the core ought to be easy: Just load up a load of black holes and neutron stars in the area, thus killing scanning abilities and having the potential to damage and destroy any ships that would travel through.

Moving said objects is already doable. I've messed around with Ultimate Editor and changed a game map so I could have a nice quiet area of the galaxy surrounded by a dense drift of anomalies to deter the AI powers from coming and investigating.
