Cool idea!

ANd not just extra systems in the void, how about Nebule/Deralict Endless craft/Rouge planets/Stond alone wormholes/black holes/an assortment of star stages from birth to death/cosmic phonomona/Minor races and on.

I would like it if sometimes the hidden systems would be useless a barren world that was the home world of a race that nuked itself into oblivion surrounded by space junk.

Instead of following the trails, you should be able to plot your own, that way you would have to explore around to find new systems. There could be suggested routes that would expand as you discover more systems and improve tech, but otherwise you could fly nearly anywhere in search of new territory.

The idea of systems that are off the star lanes is great, as is the idea of having a "pirate system" there to explain the number of pirate ships running around.

uh, there are lots of possibilitys here:

+ The hidden Pirate Base (arrrrgh, bouty of the port bow!)

+ The long forgotten last refuge of one of the branches of the endless or one of the mundanes.... maybe deserted after a million years.

+ A Weapons Depot, build by the Endless or Mundane, maybe for a offensive that never took place or a secret weapon project.... and the doomsday device they have been working on is still there, only missing a few critical parts.

+ A VERY special Planet (not really a Planet)..... maybe another Endless Project.... something abandonded due to the outbreak of War. Dyson Sphere, Alderon Disk, Globus Cassus to name a few.

+1 from me. Excellent ideas.

Great idea. Thats something that should be in this game!

I already proposed somewhere else some unique systems or planets. It could be a great add. Finding sometime a unique planet with not anymore a number but a special name and special attributes could be fun and a reason more to declare a war

For the hidden systems, it could only be simple hidden systems. They are just not connected to the rest of the galaxy web ways.

Yeah. In fact if you think about it the galaxy should have a whole host of hidden/lost artifacts, much more so than the occasional temple on a moon.

I love the idea. I think more variation in star systems in general would be great.

and I guess every Sci-Fi setting worth it's salt has a hidden base somewhere

This is also something I've thought about, generally about 50 turns in as I explore a full constellation and notice a big gaping void in the center of said constellation.

It would increase the need of a good radar, which is a good point. And maybe new strategies to get the right tech to go there could appear.

I love this idea. Hidden Planets even if they are not really hidden the are only cut off.

It would be nice to have a ship on wich have the ability to start something like an deep space mission

to find such a planet. I think that their should be normal systems and one spezial system ( and not in every game).

Also the should be visible if you radar is large enough.

Agreed. would make exploring a little more interesting and add to the "oh, what's over there" feeling because it's harder to get too.

That could be fun, but to get there you would need first to cross the void from one arm of the galaxy to another and spot it that way, and then you would be able to send a ship there.

yes +1 i'm supporting.

it would extend late game and make the universe more realistic. i don't know how universe is generated BUT those stars not connected to any other shouldn't be taken to the existing star pool.

let me explain. for me it should be a option on the universe setting at first place and then let say you star a big universe let say there 30 stars in it.

if you apply "routeless stars" option you should have 40 stars in it 30 normal and 10 routeless or it will perturbe dramatically the game start.

+1! I would also love a map type with whole unreachable clusters (akin to "New World" continents in Civ games). I think this could do a lot to make the mid/late game more interesting. It would also make pilgrims early warp drive and Errant Fleet a bit more useful, which I think is a good thing.
