PETITION: Retcon the size of Gallia in future versions.

[Lanakov]

I'm glad to hear that, Dab, honestly.

I was afraid of missing something epicly mysterious or groundbreaking by not visiting every station of every system of 4.86 Gallia. I have a strong interest in the lore (being french myself probably helps alot) but something feels wrong in dear Gallia. This sense of vast emptiness doesn't correspond to the idea I had about it ; it's just too huge, weirdly connected and deserted.

I'm not sure it's down to people not being courageous enough to go discover it. It's just that Gallia lacks appeal and practicability.

Take the Omicrons. They're nice, dangerous, fascinating and it's rather easy to figure your way through them. I keep getting back to them even though I visited them countless times. And there's people to chat with, stuff to shoot, etc.

Gallia has potential, but this potential is being spread way too much, and the playerbase can't follow.
Get rid of a few systems, make the global systems network more coherent and easy to sail through, have a few classical chokepoints like Magellan for instance, and the whole place will get flooded in no time.

But at the moment, hell, it's hard to go pirate people in Gallia. When you finally spot a trader in Gallia, he's five systems away from you, and the path he's going to take is just a mystery.
