It was glorious.. It was a coloured-in map which depicted the territories of all the races, the rainbow worlds, the quasi-space spots, colours denoting the wealth of a star system, a separate quasi-space section, and had the planet legends of alpha, beta, gamma etc..
I managed to find a very similar looking yet stripped down map which has a quasi-space section, but its in black and white.
Does anyone else have a copy? I used to have a copy on my old laptop but it died on me last year, and I thought I had it saved on my external HD but I don't... I been scouring google for days since.

it was none of them.. 
It was similar to this one:
Except it was in colour, and it clearly depicted territories, quasi space points (on the map), rainbow worlds, homeworlds, alpha- beta-gamma legends, resource wealthy worlds. As said, it was glorious. I wish I still had it..

Your request rang a bell. I was pretty sure I had seen a map like what you were talking about. I googled and didn't come up with much but dead links.
I remembered that I had collected a bunch of maps before, preparing for a torrent I never released. I thought it might be on an external hard drive of mine, one that has been relegated to backup duties since I built a new system. But I couldn't find it. Was it in a Star Control II folder? Star Control 2? SC 2? UQM? Ur-Quan Masters? etc. etc.
Thanking goodness for Everything File Finder and perseverance, I think I have it for you. If anyone knows who actually made this map please let me know so that I may credit the author. It is indeed beautiful---crystal clear and super-informative. And I'm almost positive it was made by someone on this forum.
I have other maps too. Should I package them together?

Now, if that were hosted on an image hosting site rather than a download hosting site, I would go look at it...

I don't understand that logic. Is a 2MB download too big? Is MediaFire dangerous? Is it too many steps to download?
Well, whatever the reason:

Simply that it's an image, which I would want to view in my browser; I can't do that on MediaFire, can I?

Hey VileRancour, thanks for checking in so I can now give proper attribution. 
I don't know how vector graphics would improve the current map, unless someone was wanting to blow it up to billboard size.
As an aside, as far as maps go, spoilers don't bother me, the more info the better. Folks that don't like spoilers already have plenty of options. So if someone wanted to add even more info to this map I'd definitely use it.
