It would actually give a small incentive to be near other empires. You can cooperate with surveying larger areas of space and trade the survey information.
It would likely not be a hard feature to implement, and in the long run it would lower the amount of surveying needed by those empires and give something of actual value to trade with. Could even have random disks with survey information as loot from pirates or as plunder from raiding empire cities.
Why would I want to share my Q255 resource location and ringworlds with neighboring empires? If we were allies that would already be shared, since allies share starmaps (pretty sure). If we aren't allies, why would I share that? It's just giving my potential competitors an advantage.
I don't think it would have any impact on the amount of surveying done. Not to mention there is no incentive to live near other players due to the way war works (or doesn't hehe) and all.
