I tought this is a space game

I tought this is a space game. The last time I looked out of the window at night that was a realy huge place. And this link www.beyondprotocol.org/2008091455/bpguid.../spaceavailable.html suggests that BP would at least give me some of this vastness. So why can I only start in systems where every planet is allready occupied by one or even more players ?

the Universe grows dynamically with more players. last run through the universe was so damn large that no one fought, ever. there was no constriction of reocurces and no real reason other then personal problems to war. this solves that problem. dont worry, there are plenty of stars completely empty of anyone in the game right now, you need to get out there and colonize before they do!
