Ah, but I would consider your campaign map to be "nodal". With a maximum
supply range of 4 hexes and usually only 1 or 2 stars within that range, you
have to take territory to advance.

Yes you can't fly from any hex to any hex but you can take any route to get to
a planet.
We have previously played with defined maps containing hyperspace corridors.
I'd consider this a much more nodal map.
We also did campaigns where peopel explored the map and generated corridors
and planets and other features. The problem with this was that the players
ended up with unequal exonomies before the main battle pahse and unllucky
players got knocked about by the ones that had been lucky in the exploration.
Realistic to have power at different strengths but not very fair.
