== The fan-made map == | |||
[[File:Halo Galactic Map by Halcylon.jpg|thumb|left|150px|What is this nonsense?]] | |||
[[Image:HaloStarChart.jpg|thumb|left|150px|It's not as pretty, but it's far more accurate than the new one.]] | |||
Why is there a grossly inaccurate fan-made "map" on the page? I thought halopedia wasn't supposed to be the place for speculation. The map is so inaccurate it makes me cry. | |||
The thing is, in that map, even the real, existing star systems are misplaced by thousands of lightyears. It's not even ''near'' accurate. Even the one i posted a while ago, an old map created by a HBO resident in 2004, was far more accurate, and it wasn't allowed to be here. | |||
For example. The galaxy is about 100000 lightyears in diameter. Human space in the map is therefore almost as large. There's no way with the slipspace velocity of 2.1LY per day, UNSC ships could traverse such distances in reasonable time. It'd take decades. In the real world, which the Halo universe is largely based on with a few exceptions, UNSC space would be only about 50-70 lightyears in width, at the max. | |||
This new thing's artist just made up most of even the real systems' locations and then | |||
I especially like how he calls his knowledge "above average". This seems more like below average to me. | |||
