Bear in mind, the positions of the planets on the current map are not random. For example, Earth and Mars are positioned so that A ) the Earth-Mars transport route runs parallel to the asteroid belt, with Clandestine positioned for tactically interesting pirate strikes on transports and escorting spaceships, and B ) this nice little battlefield is on the center two rows of panels, so you can fold away the Jovian system and the inner solar system and play this in only half the area.

Don't settle for expansion maps that aren't similarly well designed.
