1) Was supposed to create more space and reduce feel of Gallia being too overfilled. Seems like it's not worked the proper way and therefore distances reduced in next patch
2) Already working over reducing distance, based on your feedback to Markam
3) Same as below
4) Moving Guise was Markam's proposal. I see no purpose of station being located that far but either I don't see purpose to locate it next to Orleanais Jump Gate
6) Same as above. However, you should remember sealed jump gate and unused trade lane in Burgundy, which used to lead to Dauphine. I suppose it was just moved to create new connection. So the only question which could rise would be "where Burgundy -> Champagne Jump Gate came from"
7) This docking ring existed in previous patch, all what I did is moved it with planet
8) What is the problem with that ring? As far as I seen it had none, but it could've changed after I submitted my files
