It will have saving and processing issues later. The new update has temporarily removed the larger maps and limited them to 300x300 I think it is.

You can still make large maps in the editor. The thing is not to fill them up with too many stars though. The game starts to a bit slow and short of memory when you have more than a couple of thousand stars.

You can do interesting stuff though, such as making separate areas that can only be reached by wormholes, or making a nice galactic spiral with clearly defined arms where you can easily travel along the arm, but not between them.
