Here’s a thought that could be explored.

Avatars accumulate points based on online time. 

Some large number of those points could be spent to establish a new empire. 

The game could start up with two to five existing empires that always allow new players to join.

oof, please no.   Need to at least provide a paid way around it for those that intend to start one right away.

Also to all calling for a smaller galaxy because there are enough systems to go around, let us not forget that the space between occupied systems is more important than the number of systems in that space. Some players do not wish to be discovered without significant effort to do so. Personally I have no problem with there being the possibility for hermit empires in a PvP game. It gives me more of a challenge to find them.
