The FTL map seems interesting, but there are some major problems I can think of in using it.
The first one, and probably the biggest is that it would take far too long to create a new map for each game, unless you can change the way the editor works to automatically generate random maps with empty systems in every square.

This exact problem was what inspired my Hypermaze mod.

The second problem is that I've heard that putting too many systems in a map will cause the game/editor to crash.

The limit is 255 systems. I didn't change the maximum number for a large quadrant from the default in Hypermaze, because I've yet to feel limited by the standard 100 or less.
BTW, I did some more research on UCITA; it's only been ratified in Maryland and Virginia so far, which is quite a bit fewer states than I thought had adopted it.
