I have considered the Galactic Centre system, but since most of the galaxy is not included in the Terragen Sphere, I think that the best and most intuitive one is the Sun-centred Galactic XYZ system of coordinates. I've got lots of XYZ data in this system available, and can calculate more - if you want to want to convert it to Galactic Centre coordinates simply add 25,000 to the X-value and 70 from the Z value..
We also include the 'constellation-as-seen-from-Earth' in most descriptions - this can be extended to all descriptions without too much bother, and we could even include the RA and Dec in the equatorial system since this is the most widely used astronomical system. Practically every description of a location in OA includes the distance from Sol as well, and this should continue.
