Why are 2d Maps for Eve better than 3d in-Game maps?
There are many reasons, but to list a few: – The logical grouping of some regions in EvE don’t show the strategic value. A case from the demo map is that part of Querious is actually in Delve and has no connection to Querious. The Eve Strategic Map of Delve includes the Querious systems. – Since the in-game map is actually 3D, there are many regions where either the 2D map shows overlaps in systems, that appear connected, but are not (or) the 3D map requires a lot of twisting and turning. Not something you want to do while chasing an enemy in PvP – The in-game maps only show one ‘layer’ of information at a time. For Strategic Planning, you need to see multiple layers eg. Sec Status, Ice Fields, NPC Stations, Outposts, Complexes, etc. etc. all at the same time.
