How would that work if there's anything in that space? A rival empire would need to be processed, which means you need to create that part of the galaxy for them to operate in.

You can't compare games across genres like this and get comparisons that make any sort of sense.

Since this is a strategy game, every time you click the "Turn" button the entire map would need to be regenerated and processed, and I don't think current systems could handle it, at least on the level yo're talking about. It would be fun though :3

I like the idea but as other pointed out it isn't practical.  And for one more reason not already pointed out, there would be no reason to fight.  It would be an infinite colony rush.  LOL: I owned GC3 for 15 years, still playing my first game...1.7 billion colony's so far.

It really is too bad though.  I really like that idea.
