When did spaceships get introduced?

On the OP, I sorta hinted at a similar idea called H-space (not to be confused with highsec) that did similar things.
(H = Home incidentally).
- System resources improving as the system was expanded with "survey mods" fitted to POS's. - As you expanded your risk increased proportionally to the resources etc. - You could chose to stay small and just chip away at low yield stuff or reach for the sky. - It incorporated ship size restrictions etc. etc.
And then I realised I was sort of describing - in Tippia's own words - a static WH.
I'm still convinced there is room for something like this and with months of it rattling around in my head, I may still cough up the details because it would - for want of a better word (**** off Tippia) - "solve" a lot of the "problems" in Eve I've seen over the years.
I'm yet to come up with a dovetail to fit it into current lore but I'm also aware that Eve is but one galaxy. Even in RL, we're aware of more than that.
So maybe one day.
Nice post OP. No idea, no matter how big or small, good or bad, should ever be discarded "just because" so ignore the naysayers. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

My first problem with every idea is about the way eve is designed and how it uses nodes on the server. I do not think they can expand eve to multiple servers. Not sure on that. They are already adding Dust to the server. You can only do so much before it impacts game play.
OK I always put game play first.
So if any expansion idea is considered it must first, not impact current game play at all in a negative way.
Given the fact that CCP has to implement TiDi when too many players get into a single node already I kinda think eve is already near its limits. I for one do not want more players in eve.
Second people being what they are they will always want to be in Jita. No matter how many galaxy's get added (if they can work with eve) everyone will want some sort of jump drive so they can get to Jita from where ever they are in a few minutes.
So to the op's idea it sounds cool but I vote no. No point to it unless eve can grow much larger without any negative impact to game play and thats clearly not the case given TiDi. Have faith, Moore's Law has stayed pretty solid for 40 odd years Expect to last another 10 at least and then we'll be into a new realm.
Push the envelope and to hell with the sticky bit
(Bearing in mind TiDi isn't about systems, it's about what's in them.) "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

TL;DR.. Space is big enough.. More than half the systems in eve are always empty. Here's a thing.
