I approve, I think. Careful planning with 60 solar systems (10/avatar) would let a one-man empire achieve a satisfying range of goals while still encouraging much more inter-empire trade than presently AND as minty says allowing a good trial option. 50 would just be a little bit of a squeeze I think...based on my very personal experience.
But could you change the way babies are made? Making a highborn would be very impractical for an extended empire if it means giving up 10 systems for a month just to free up a slot. When a baby is born, could it sit in a lockbox somewhere until you decide to replace an existing avatar with it?
Or just make it 60 systems per acct., v. simple.
I wouldn't worry about pay-to-win concerns. Hazeron can never exactly become pay to win, since the game is unwinnable and unloseable as long as the galaxy is big and there are places to hide. Your emissions update made that a lot easier. The more people pay, right now, the more we all benefit from the game's success. So what if Syndicate/Weltreich/SpacePoland has the five times your systems by paying 5x as much? He can't eradicate you and you can do anything your heart desires except eradicate him. Slightly liberalize intergalactic travel so there are more access points than just the central wormhole chokepoint, and you're set.
