#1 Replace Worldmap Component

[Trace Kern]

At the moment the Worldmap component of StarMap is a
low-detail, low-res hexmap which has no random terrain
generation.

We need to replace this component with something with
a little more detail, graphics (Though hexmap could
work in a pinch), and the capability for random
terrain generation.

Guess I should have read this one first. See my response to
"Add Moons and multi-maps". Can we/Do we want to do the
random generation ourselves, or try and convince someone
else who has done good work in this field to help us out
with this component?
