Elite Dangerous - Mapping To Help Plan My Colony

 I'm still struggling to figure out what to build, where, and where not to build.  I especially want CMM Composites.  But I also want an Ocellus station, a T3 Planetary Port, and an Asteroid station.

Some of those have prerequisites that have to be built first.  Also, I built my Primary when I knew a lot less than I do now... which is STILL next to nothing.  I'm still trying to learn, but am afraid my Primary Station may have been a bad choice.  And wouldn't you know, it's the only station you can't demolish.

To help plan, I mapped out a clean diagram of my system, with labels.  Next, after the current CG is over, I'll do a full exploration on every body in the system.  Just in case Inara or Spansh has an error, or incomplete data.  

Once that's done, I'll plan accordingly, then check out Raven Colonial to see if my plan has any hope of working.  In the meantime, I finished creating the system diagram today.  Just in case it helps anybody to see what you can do with Diagrams.net (and I'm a newbie at it, it's very intuitive), and because I may want to reference my map when I'm not sitting at the computer, the map is attached below.
Hope you like it!
