there was a law saying no nation could officially control more than 3 star systems
That's honestly a very funny way to justify why there are only 6 cities in the game when humanity has supposedly explored like 200+ systems (many of which are habitable). Like its not that we are lazy or went way overboard with the procedurally generated planets, it's becuase of space law.
There is exactly 1 other non-procedural inhabited planet that I have found so far, and it's fucking Paradiso, a beach resort that occupies, if I had to guess, less than 20km2, and with no security.
Also every fucking planet has some human habitation, so despite a pitiful zone of control you're never actually out beyond the frontier, you're never exploring.
