That is why cant we have unlisted stargates to systems that are not mapped those systems would then be completely unmapped and u would need scanner to find anything in them... exploration skills to map it out ? Hidden systems might have stuff like rare ore belts with a station or nice price on a trade items or some unique items for sale. I think it was a mistake to have everything mapped out to start with.......

Agreed, might be flamed for saying this but i still feel that the Eve galaxy is too small.

How do you know there arnt any?
Seriously though the only real way to do this is to have a stargate created by the pirate factions. Thats the only way I can see for a reasoning behind it, or perhaps a realy old one from when the wormhole was still open before the eve galaxy started losing/forgeting technology.
The pirate one would be the easiest and could have a nice story arch for the re-release of pirate battleships.

The galaxy is designed for 25000 people, we're barely 5000 and you think it's small already!? :)

It's not correct,. you only see Online 5000 but thers more you think at the game!
From a Interview with a dev:

I finde the idea good.
Normal there is a Galaxy database, but only with the system you have visit, or other has send your some data, so you don't know all the starsystems.
Would be better if you start, you get the starmap from your home system (race) and need to explore the rest by jumping at a gate to other system, and then you get this system on your map. So at start you don't see how big the galaxy are.
The idea of this is you have to explore the galaxy and not only look an the map and see the hole universe.
- Send out scout to finde special asteroid/minerals.
- No system claim near a closed starsystem to take advantage over other player, only for the efect you see the unreachable system on the map (JOVE SPACE)

Wasn't there something like this in Earth and Beyond, I can't remember exactly since I played the demo for 3 hours.
I really like the idea of exploring the universe rather than seeing all of it at once. Empire space with sec rating of 0.5 and above would be visible and 0.4 - 0.1 would be partially visible (system names visible, but no further information, like orbit items, before you visited it), and 0.0 space being just black.
When you'd jump to a system you'd get it added to your map as well as it's neighbour systems. That would give some information about the next system in your route so you could avoid blockades and such.
Possibly you could download information of, say, the current constellation from a station, for a fee. Or buy it from other players, making exploring of deep-space somewhat profitable.
Of course, making even some if this happen now impossible. But I think it was a nice idea.
