i dont think it would be that hard to do that, im not asking to doulbe the size of the zone, just increase it.

maybe just the higher end zone like dath, or dant because the faster ships will more likly be in those zones.
Actually, it would, from a server/client communication standpoint, be more plausible to increase the size where slower ships are.
Ever been flying along, then, suddenly, your engines cut out and a "reset" seems to have taken place? That's the server syncing with your computer, and the server is saying, "Whoa, you're not way up there, you're back here. Come back here." It gets worse the faster you go, particularly with overload3 and/or boost.
This symptom would increase dramatically with every cubic km you add.

You are one of the very few. Fortunately, the intent of the devs is to take everyone into consideration, not the few, or the one.

Because space is relative the deevs have a lot of ways to make it bigger (seem bigger) scale down the size of everything or scale down the speed of everything, this way the system its self doesn't get any bigger.

True, but then there will be others popping on here to complain how the scaling is off. You know they won't be able to scale it down right. Hell, not everything is scaled right as it is.

I've got it! They can just do a wraparound system, like in good old Asteroids! Just imagine flying past endor station 30 times without turning around... mua ha ha...
but seriously, I do agree that I find myself bumping into walls a bit more often and obviously than I'd like--particularly where the wall is pretty near a major area, such as the naboo space station i believe? Perhaps even some re-organization of space zones would help.
