I'm seeing systems that I wouldn't mind colonizing, dead-center, in the middle of the Bubble and to where the closest 'possible' system IS indeed populated but not within a 10ly radius. Rather? It's something closer to 15ly. How do those get colonized if you can't be over 10ly from a populated system, and yet? There's all this 'dead space' around them?
I actually see this problem a lot in Powerplay as well because you have to deliver something within a 20ly distance from the next closest reinforced system but the space between stars is too great, making it so that the next closest reinforced system is 24-29ly away and based on what I'm seeing in the map there could be no possible way for that unoccupied system to be any closer to a system, much less a reinforced one.
I know that based on the above logic it sounds like I'm saying Fdev should just bump the range up to 30ly and call it a day, but even just bumping it up to 15ly could give people a lot more candidates, as I'm finding that 75-80% of all the star systems in the bubble don't even have bodies, much less ones that aren't gas giants or non-landfall ice planets.
