Actually, according to the rulebook, this isn't true. You can rotate the way you put the system pieces against the warp in order to fit a total of six. (I've done this, moving systems around the board; it works.) And when the game was first released, Hasbro was already talking about releasing the 5/6-player expansion (although that seems to have fallen by the wayside in the meantime).

Your point about the mothership is valid, though. Who knows, maybe there will be a new mothership in the expansion?

As always, fantastic review.
