It comes down to unfair advantage that cannot be physically stopped. Datamining is a problem in any game, but in Discovery Freelancer the only thing you need to know in order to do it is how to drag and drop a system INI file into Notepad.
Again, if we want to implement something unique for people to find and use - be it ships, gear, visual for ships and so on, it cannot show up systems. However other stuff - sure, go ahead.
I think one way is to have really really rare npc spawns associated with the system. Sure - datamining, but, it'd still be a bit more annoying to trace.
I guess the only way to make unexpected things happen is making use of flhook, which also has its limitations.
