I think it wouldn't hurt to use actual stars and such in these games, if only to give people a sense of our astral "neighborhood". I don't know if it would make for good gameplay though.

In my game (https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard) I consulted star maps of nearby regions of the galaxy (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/starmaps/mapindex.php http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/starmaps/mapindex.php) and placed systems accurately. However, I felt that using their astronomical names/numbers would be unrealistic--if these stars ever ended up being colonized, they would be given colloquial names, so I made up my own names for most of them.
