It's not just seeing a large percentage of the galaxy, it's storing WHEN you saw it, and doing that for each player. The game file contains the data for each player, so for every system there needs to be a section for when/if each player Last viewed that system, and what/where everything was in the system. This is much different than seeing what is in a large portion of the quadrant this turn.
