To me, the increase from 2 to 3 hyperlane radius doesn't seem like an improvement at all. We now get a big blob in the middle and a lot of tiny, 1 system sectors around it.
I don't care if it will cost us a fortune in influence or credits, if it can potentially make pops rebellious and governors turn against us, if we're allowed to only do it once every 10 years, if we have to change our government to an autocratic form; I just want to have SOME say in what system belongs to what sector. Not only to merge sectors, but also to split them, so that planets with similar populations or specialisations can be together in the same sector, and benefit from appropriate governors and settings.
Someday in the distant future, perhaps?
