I also noticed this and posted about it... then bugged Cari about it on IRC... she said she previously had a conversation with Brad in which he explained that it is an intended feature. oO

ok. It gives away the position of each race's homeworld right at the start. Is the AI allowed to "look at" that information? If not, then that is unfair (in favor of the player).

Now, try it with the minimap zoomed in at 200% on a gigantic galaxy. Some sectors do not show any ownership. Some ownership archs look chopped off at some sector boundaries. Sometimes space you have explored shows no ownership what so ever, even space around your own planets. All of the areas without ownership that I have seen have the appearance of being cases where the calculations are based on galaxy sizes smaller than the galaxy size I am running with.
