Since code formatting got screwed already I'll just quote relevant bits.

Okay, which ones would get to the chopping block then? Go ahead, make a list, post here.

Really? Gates require no resources to pass through, can be used infinitely and by any ship, require no coordinates. Compare that to jumpdrives. Besides all such gates would really do is take away activity from other places and make a giant uncontrollable non-stop clusterf*ck around them, which in turn will have server crash due to being old software unable to scale that sort of stuff. Factions who reside outside will see diminishing activity in their ZoI and they'll simply die, only those adjacent to such gates would exist. Still looks like a good idea to you?

For size of the mod... I suspect you mean physical size of the mod files taking space at hard drive. In that case it would not affect that much anyway - most space usage comes from assets such as textures, especially duplicated ones, then models and various other stuff. Systems themselves are merely a set of small text files. For example Unknown system is about 14kb uncompressed and 3kb in LZMA compression which is what being used in distribution installer. Comparatively a lousy so old it's no longer funny anymore gif meme image posted here at forums typically starts from 800kb.
Some systems are made for exploration activities, not every system is meant to be activity hub. Problem ain't with those, problem is with oversized buffer systems between activity hubs and thus making it a long chore to go from one to another.

It's easy to find me on skype, but I see no issue with you here listing jumpholes you'd consider deleting.
