I use this all the time to gauge borders... but it doesn't work if another empire decides to claim NO systems in that map. I've seen a few players do that....

Knowing where each enemy is not AS difficult, nor as important. first of all i usualy just remember their location, works fine for me. But i never played too seriously, now i plan some serious games.

Most useful seems to be the combination of both - put notes in important systems, and write the strategies, plans, whatever in notepad. Or on a paper.

If you actually claim the systems that you have planets in then you are either:

a) 250+% better htan everyone and can be arrogant and powerful like that

b) are really dumb beacuse now your enemies just found out somethign about without doing any work. Wanna know how some people always know where the AI is? or where you are? I just turn on random places and get dumb folks to send their entire fleets looking for my 40 soem planets all in 3 systems. Hello?

Sorry about that flamboyant and flameish remark but really, u shouldn't claim systems.

Works fine in a non-RP game, but pull that stunt with people RPing, and you'll probably get put down like a rabid dog Too insane to be left around..
