See, I considered doing that myself, but I think a bunch of MS paint blobs over a legitimate picture of the galaxy would look silly.

I think you could make it work if you used not a picture of a galaxy but a starry background, or just a black one. Just that would probably make the map look a lot better, even if the stars didn't correlate with the position of our empires. A lot of people have already volunteered to pretty it up so i won't exactly, but know that i'm out here too if you need me for graphical stuff.
