Default Status of systems not presently seen

I have been thinking following thing (like propably many others). If your ship goes through colonized system and then leaves it you immediately lose all the information of that system (except the location of planets and their atmosphere) if you do not take a print screen and glue it onto your wall. This is not situation in real world. It would not be very difficult to do like this (mimicing real world situation):

When your ship leaves system, you still see all those things what you saw whn your ship went throug it. When you would look that system at galaxy map, you would see that view until another ship goes throug that system. There could be little counter at the upper left corner on the system showing how many turns has passed since Last update (so you would be aware of how reliable the screen is). It is that there is no update of ship locations and planet ownerships (mineral status, population, etc.) until next voyage. It would be tremendous enchancement for your game, though, it would make sensors little less useful.

Do we see that on SEV?
