- CRITICAL FIX: Empires are now properly disconnected!
- Empire home systems must be bridged by players exploring between them
- Removed auto-expansion that was generating thousands of excess systems
- Galaxy cleanup now ONLY removes bad connections, never adds them
- Increased system spacing from 35-70 GU to 60-90 GU for better spread
- Strict 100 GU max jump distance with NO exceptions
- Unreachable unexplored systems are now properly cleaned up
- Galaxy grows organically as players explore, not automatically
