[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] You can easily interpret the continuous regions of color as a collection of separate dots, though. Just because a region of map is blue doesn't mean that a starship has visited every cubic lightyear there. It merely means that the region is within reach of UFP starships, and that the said ships have flown past, or visited some of the nearby systems - or then just that the UFP has annexed this space by treaty without necessarily visiting it. If warp speeds are Okudaic or nearly so, it is no wonder nobody visited, say, Pollux before Kirk, even if they visited the more distant Trill or Pacifica. And the 2D map can readily be taken to "be" 3D. Not all the stars shown are supposed to be in the exact same plane or anything. And the seemingly "straight and simple" borders of empires are just what you get when you sum up all the 3D meanderings into a 2D profile... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
