From the answer I got it seemed that people did still have FTL. It's just that it's less Stargate wormhole drive and more Mass Effect speeds. So we can get to nearby star systems but not places half the galaxy away.

Well that would require them to have actually met at some point.
My apologies. I did not mean to say that the RPG was doomed to die quickly or anything. It's just that every RPG will only last for so long before it kicks the metaphorical bucket.
I was trying to avoid being too technical in my post, I guessed I messed up. Suffice to say that a map that shows any significant portion of the galaxy is going to have too many star systems for you to realistically use. That's why I suggested a star cluster, it keeps things somewhat more contained and prevents numbers from getting out of hand.

@Cale Tucker A quarter of the galaxy is still several orders of magnitudes more then you will ever need for this game. At absolute most you might need a thousand systems if this thing gets super popular and you get hoards of players.
Chances are good that the game will die before you need more than a hundred systems. If you do in fact run out of space and you don't want people fighting over land you can just say that recent advances in FTL have opened up a new star cluster and add another map.
Most of the games I played had maps and it's always better to follow the K.I.S.S. principle.

Terraforming is a lot harder than people give it credit for. It requires like, super advanced technology to do it in anything less than a couple generations.
Been following this RPG just for fun. Could not help but notice your problem with the map.
Why not just go with a star cluster rather than the entire galaxy? Say, sixty systems indicated by white dots scattered around on a black background. Each system has a number so you just post the map, everybody picks which number system they want to start in and you are good to go.

Haruka Sakamoto
"Looks like the classes are not that big, I'm sure we will run into one another again soon."
With a wave to the British Sorcoress Haruka made his way over to the testing area. Making his way to the front of the crowd he looked around. It seemed like nobody else had started their demonstration yet.
Perfect, less collateral damage in that case.
Cracking his knuckles the teenager moved out onto the field. He tried to walk confidently, not exactly his strong suit but come on. The entire class was watching him right now. He would never live it down if he messed something up.
Eventually he reached the center of the field, far enough away from everybody else that he was sure no stay spellcasting would hit anybody is he messed up. Haruka let out a breath and clapped his hands together in front of him. Bowing his head he began to speak.
"Lord in Heaven above. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I, Haruka Sakamoto beseech thee. Take the power vested in me and turn it into a raging fire, a purifying light to strike down those who would do evil and harm your children. Lord burn those before me with your blazing light!"
As he spoke one of his hands had had risen above his head. Now he brought it down, his words ringing with power.
"Feel the Wrath of God!"
A pillar of light burst from the cloudless sky above and slammed down several yards in front of the young mage. There was no gathering of particles or any other warning of it's arrival. It just appeared as if from nowhere. Haruka's mana had been full up before the strike, which meant that this Smite was rather on the large side.
Without a target to burn away the pillar of light began to eat at the ground below it. Dirt and dust were incinerated as the strike went on, a new hole growing and growing until the light cut out as suddenly as it had started.
Haruka almost staggered from the sudden loss of mana. He had been expecting it, the spell was his after all. It was still unpleasant though. Turning away from the building sized hole in the ground he gave a tired smile at the teacher and spoke.
"So How did I do?"

"So How did I do?"
It's coming. I have to retrofit a Human civ I already had worked out. Add in magic, rework the government, fiddle with some of the technology, stuff like that.
It's not exactly at the top of my to-do list but it's getting done.

So it could have been even closer to his ex?
It's literally a fortress town whose continued existence depends on it's ability to keep all Grimm away.
