Starmap solutions

In a starmap a line radiating from a piece will find a match somewhere along its sightline. As a matter of taste one can put in the condition, as is done here, that pieces should not be immediately adjacent to one another. A blank edge will find nothing along its sightline!

Since in any of the six direction precisely 32 pieces will have a blank edge, the "width" of the starmap will have to be 32 lines minimum in the three main directions. This is consistent with a uncentered hexagon base 16/17, as employed here. The pieces are represented by "stars". The blank can be found slightly below the center, diagonally adjacent to the six.
