Since i started playing computergames back in 1982,i was hoping for game, which lets you explore solar systems to its core, with lots of scientific data and lost and long gone cultures. If you ever read Perry Rhodan novels, kinda like the Explorer Fleet there.
I am wondering, who of you guys and gals would be interested in such an option, if that would exist in EVE. Maybe all those nifty science skills would be used more extensively. Ok, i realize that it is hardly possible to have 10k people swarm around and explore the hell out of new systems. If there are systems added, they will be limited in number, since the devs need an overview of what is happening in the game.
Very basically, the idea is, if you are heading out in an Explorer Ship (whether solo or in a gang), you will enter sort of instance which consists of systems generated by random. You will then be able to explore them to whatever extend you wish. Dependind on the data you collect, and maybe a mission you have from an agent, a certain solar system will be deemed worthy to be added to the real EVE universe. Of course this should be rare. This opens alot of other possibilities on earning money, expanding the current universe etc.
On the other hand, if the hardware is able to handle it (/me winks at the new blades), it is possible to add a vast amount of solar systems w/o instancing. I doubt there is the danger of people spreading too much, since you really want to be in a decent jumpgate range of all the commerce.

Of course, for all the "making-things-go-BOOM" lovers, there can be plenty of colorful explosions added

So, anyone who likes or despises thsi idea ?
