Sounds like it'd be related to the X map, only it would be based in 6s rather than 4s.

Yeah, with a bit of lattice thrown in. That said, I'm sure there are algorithms out there that could be easily adopted to this end. In fact, now that I think of it all you probably need is a fractal algorithm written to generate snowflakes, which should workwell for map generation and be easily convertable.

It depends on how AI War generates its galaxy maps.

If I could see some basic code that generates the map I could probably write a couple interesting ones myself.

True enough. I guess we'll have to wait and hear back from Chris and see what he thinks of the feasibility.
