Improving the New Website Map

There's a few small improvements that I would like to suggest for the new EVE website, in particular on the maps being used on the website. Overall it looks great BTW.

On the maps add a legend of some sort and some subtext to describe what they are looking at, and add a bit more description for each system. First for usability, more the info box up to the upper left corner (the first place people look). Have the description box populated by default with "click on a solar system to see more detail", and add info such as the #of stations, planets, security level, and asteroid belts in the system, to add a sense of scale to the map. Also add region names, especially since New Eden is referenced in the text under the map (on the world of eve page).
