Removal of the system off the player list?

Maybe they just want people playing that really want to

I can't actually argue against you here. Maybe they do just want the die-hards left logging - the kind of player to whom boating through empty system after empty system is somehow actually worth it.

But erh,... yeah this game has a HUGE universe so it will take you almost TWENTY minutes to go from one side to the other.

I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but this game is actually pretty massive for the playerbase. You could easily pack twenty or more people into some systems and they'd still manage to feel a bit empty. There's barely eighty or so at the best of times spread across a playing field that's obscenely big.

Well it's called the 'Discovery mod' :O
