Does anyone fell that maby systems are too far away from each other?

Or maby culture and scanners have too short range?

Because it often seems like my war fleets are running blind, and that my terrotory doesent really extend over my possible 'zones of intrest'

There are a few scanner-boosting technologies in the tech tree. Also, try experimenting with map generation. I find that increasing star density while setting constellations to 'Remote' will encourage the game to put stars within sensor range of each other.

I actually kind of like the sense of vastness that just open distance gives to the universe. I've played with the density too, and you can definitely get into a situations where everything feels right of top of everything else, and it can also feel like you're literally swimming in the void. That flexibility is a great sign for a game like this.

The void adds to the space opera feeling to me. It is believable to me.

The vastness is nice, but it would be nice to be able to build larger "sensor relays" so you can monitor ships in your territory and across the border in enemy territory.
