I'm confused: where does it say anything about money, payment or other then free service there?

A: There's both an in-game and out-of-game editor in which you can make your own maps in about twice no time. Seriously, people, at least TRY the in-game map editor!

B: That site is hardly the only place to get Sins maps.

C: I see nothing on that site about demanding money from me before I can download.

i dislike the in game editor for one reason...your home planet (and neighoring asteroid) are always 100 thousand trillion miles away from the rest of the map and i find this irritatingly irritating. it takes like...5 min for your ships to traverse this void and by the time culture connects the games over...even on a large map. no settings i change have ever changed this

Five minutes? Try 50.

Well, all I've got to say is, ?????????

I use the in-game Map Designer for every single game I play, and I have no idea what you're complaining about.

Try two things:

1: At the top of the designer screen, make sure Map Size is turned all the way down, to the left, in the red. This controls distance between stars, as well as the scale of the entire map.

2: At the bottom of the designer screen, for each star, make sure the Orbit Radius is turned all the way down, to the left, in the red. This controls how far away from a star planets, etc., are.

Both of these settings should be the default, but from the way you're talking, they're obviously not.

I just ran a test by making a brand-new custom map, changing absolutely no settings, started a game using SLOW ship speeds, and started a game. I jumped a ship to the planet furthest from my homeworld, and it took 23 seconds to arrive. Remember, that's with the ship speeds set to slow.

So, something is wrong on your end. Let me know what it turns out to be, because I'm curious.

I think i understand what was going on now...
When i was creating maps. I made only one planet group and made its distance close to the star...You home planet and neighboring ast & ice/volc always spawn at the max distance from the star. When i make maps with several planet groups, some close to the star others far away this problem doesnt happen...
This makes sense and i wonder why i didnt think of it earlier...
