If anyone wanted to game fleets traveling around the outer solarsystem,
I have some
direct experience in this...(seems a while back, I was trying to do a
game-able
"solarsystem map".  Because of the enormas size of the solar system, it
is not possible
to put all of the planetary orbits on one map, without some abstraction.
 The best
solution I could come up with was:  Put everything from the Sun to the
Asteroid belt on
one map, and the rest on another map.  Both maps being the same size. 
The "outer map"
scale would be 1 "inner map" per hex....  :-)
