Youll see the whole Galaxy map at all times, every 'main' star in the Galaxy anyway, lots of filters to play with
So 'unexplored' can mean, nobody been to that region or sector, but we can still all see all the stars locations and jump ranges. Or it can mean actually visiting a Star System. Regions or areas of the galaxy are less visited but each 'named sector' has been visited....but if you look at heat maps
99+% of Star Systems are unvisited / unexplored by anybody. If you the first to find it you get our name on it. First to map gets another Tag, forever in game.
So the Galaxy (or stars in it) are always visible from everywhere for everyone at all times.
The Sytem Map is only available after visiting or buying.
Only the SysMap has objects you can tag, including the main star.
1st Discovered usually around 1K LY+ out from Sol, 1st mapped available within 300LY in the bubble but getting rarer, I found plenty 1st Map tags on the recent Halloween mystery and lots of players were in the area....Ive followed expeditions and found first disco and 1st map....theres plenty of stars for everyone, but the first is always special
