Check out this image of the Galaxy Map:

You use the first set of arrows <- -> to move the Galaxy Number higher or lower and the second set to move the System Number higher or lower.

There are 9 Galaxies and 499 Systems in each Galaxy. That's a crap load of open planet slots out there.

The Galaxy map depicted has no planets in it. There's tons of those in ZE right now.

every open slot is a planet that has not been colonized so send your colony ship to those coordinates to colonize.

If u send your colony ships out there though its gunna take a loooooooooooong time to send resources there and for your ship to even get there,thats y I prefer to keep my planets closer together.

you might even have to sacrifice a cargo ship to get a colony ship that far. probably not worth it unless you like playing alone

The flip-side to this point of view is that having all your planets in one area limits your hunting range.

Which of course requires you to be a hunting type of person. :) If you're not, then by all means, cluster them puppies up. Of course, if they're all clustered up, someone else doesn't need to work as hard to find them ...
