North South East and West could be used for universal mapping if you took the right coordination to space, but please use In and Out as well, e.g. "The blue eye of the united 'Gees galaxy is located at East North East In North East."

Sorry, but mapping space gets WAY more complicated than simply mapping the surface of a planet. We're not trying to be specific here, we're just showing where things are based on a perspective. Stop trying to act smart because we're not trying to show every detail.

However, you do bring up a good point with the in and out part, maybe we should have a "side" view that shows locations that would normally seem on top of each other on the first map. Though that would take a lot more time to forge, since I'm not sure what that would even look like. I'm not trying to act smart, that's just how In naturally see things.

Oh yeah, on the Universes topic, some of my favourite fakegees are from different dimensions.
