Thanks! \\//_ Live as long as your mom tells you
The systems aren't too big if you are just trying to find a particular planet. The map shows you where they are and you can usually find your way there pretty quickly as long as no one is trying to kill you along the way. On the other hand, if you are trying to either hunt down or protect one particular ship, as several missions require you to do, the system can seem absolutely huge as you run from one end to the other searching frantically for the ship you must either kill or protect before time runs out.

To answer your second question, the game is 2D like Starfleet Command. It would be cool to fly in a 3D environment, but in practice the game feels vast enough in 2D for my taste. I don't think you will feel too restricted.
