Did anyone else pick this up? I just ordered one, hopefully it's useful! Title: Re: EVE Strategic Map Book Post by: MahrinSkel on May 21, 2008, 04:51:52 PM http://www.eve-online.com/eon/strategicmaps.asp Couple of our FC's used to swear by them. And I used to use the online version when I was planning logistics in Querious.Did anyone else pick this up?

Figured it be nice to have them in full color in book form though... we'll see if they are just as useful.

Title: Re: EVE Strategic Map Book Post by: Endie on May 22, 2008, 03:26:27 AM I bought one. They are less good than Ombey's version for running ops, simply because you can print out Ombey's maps as often as you like, scrawl on them etc. They do have slightly more info than Ombey's, so if you want to know about moon counts, then they're useful. Most info is pretty obfuscated, however: there is a demo page for Querious (and the Forge, I think) on the eve maps website, which you can take a look at to see how tricky extracting info can be.
In summary, they are shiny, black, good looking but less functional than the Ombey alternatives. |
