d) no, exploration has fallen foul of official/ corporate apathy

My vote: I am going to reserve judgement on this one any of these could be interesting
8B. There's always someone looking to get some sort of benefit from being one of the first settlers/miners/etc. in a future, new system, but as humanity expands, the demand for new systems gradually decreases.

a) yes, there are a few systems that have been surveyed for years, they have just been waiting for somebody to raise the money
b) maybe, there are candidates out there
c) no, with five systems to choose from its easier to go where the people are

My vote: a) a tightly confined setting might actualy have potential but given the small setting the chance to get in on the ground floor makes for the more exciting option
9A. The newest system(s) is gaining population.
