Let's face it, not much goes on in null. How about making more empire space elsewhere bridged by null sec space?

Expansion has to be balanced with functionality; if a game-world gets too large, the player-base becomes too spread out for any meaningful interaction.

True perhaps for PvP, but when it comes to commerce players will always meet. And the griefers will soon follow.

How do you know what happens in null? And why do you care for that matter?

As much as this looks like a good idea on paper the main impacts would be moving stuff between trade hubs and people will just switch to JFs.

How about fixing null so it's less horribly gimped?

Oh wait that's already in the works.

K-Space hasn't grown since 2005, while (so we're told) sub numbers continue to rise. So year on year the ratio of pilots/system has been growing for ten years, and continues to grow.

The effect you see is a result of the upgrades system where people cram into little oasis systems while leaving the rest totally empty. We had 52 people in one (non staging) null system at the weekend. So while this system is in effect it doesn't matter how many new pilots come to nullsec, they all try and squash into the same system and stay exactly as spread out as they were before. Trying to hunt for DED sites in sovereign space will cure you of this "barren null" notion quickly.

What good will more space do? Once conquered it will be just like we have now. Sure it would add some fights short term but in the long run it will give us more of the same thing we already have.

You can't fix null by adding more space, you need to fix the mechanics of what we have now before adding that space.

Agreed.

Make it possible to conquer High Sec and that will give us all the space we need.

It wasn't a good idea 11 years ago (when they actually did it) and its still not a good idea.
