Equilateral triangle divided in equilateral triangles

Let's consider an equilateral triangle which is divided in $100$ equilateral triangles. What is the maximum number of points which are vertices of these triangles such that each straight line that passes through any two of these points is parallel to any edge of the initial triangle? I'm trying to consider the coordinates of every point.
Any ideas? Thank you!

This is an interesting problem but your question has been stated in a way very difficult to understand. In any event, it equivalent to thenon-attacking queens on a triangleproblem for a triangle of side $n = 11$. Nivasch et al. has shown the maximum number is $leftlfloor frac{2n+1}{3}rightrfloor = leftlfloor frac{2(11)+1}{3}rightrfloor = 7$.

Hmm... I didn't notice the original version of this question has a double negative about "no two points that is not parallel to...". So my previous comment didn't apply....
