op is right, empire should only consist of only 1 solar system per empire and those should be 0.5, as well as mining should be removed from the game, and the missions in those areas should lead you outside the solar system unless its courier and those should go to the next empire so the alliance can have more empty space.
tl;dr im being completely sarcastic if you cant pick up on it. I have an alpha out in a null corp right now where im mining in a venture and salvaging in a catalyst and everyone around me is ratting in supers. as well as I can travel many jumps by gates and have no reds except for people coming from npc spaces looking for a fight so than they get supers dropped on them.
