Hazeron only generate a solar system when it is visited for the first time, and if the solar system is left empty with no visitors for an extended period of time it is deleted and can be re-generated again later when revisited.
So server resource wise, only inhabited space matter. There might be a slight spike in server resource usage when a lot of exploration is going on, but it will automatically be cleaned up again after a while.
Indeed, that is what I've just been told on the Discord server actually. My bad for that one, I'm not quite the expert. I still, however, argue the main point, being: realistically, we aren't ever going to explore even a thousandth of the playable area as it is shaped right now--not even remotely. It's too wide, stretches players too far apart. SoH being a MMO, I would assume it would benefit from making interactions between groups of players easier. But anyway. I have spoken my speech. I see no point in arguing further in my part, I think I have made my opinions clear enough.
Again, I'm still thrilled by your return and the news of SoH coming back, Haxus. I'm sure we all are. Some of us simply fear the game might die out once more, from lack of activity, because we really feel like empires are likely to be too far apart if the map's scale is not rethought.
