Actually, I thought that dormant ones were supposed to be non-existent ones, only being opened(created) because the RNG decided to pick a system that's already surveyed to be the destination of a new Jump Point.

That's correct.  They're related to "closed" warp points in StarFire.

I don't know. Not that it matters, as in-game both systems would behave the same way.

There are hidden jump points (dormant jump points) but they can only be opened from the other side.
I think they exists to solve problems like you have. Such a small 'mini-galaxy' is very strange though.

Oh well, I thought maybe there was a hidden jump point or something that you had to do more than just grav survey the system to find.  I guess I'll try to SM in some ones.  Thanks for the quick replies!

Positive.
I asked this because you might have played with a full grav survey without knowing what it is and thus not surveying the other systems.
SM option is your only (100% sure and short term) option than.

Extreme bad luck then.

I thisk you can use a sm option to add new jump points to sistems in the F9 window, you could try that.

Are you sure you did a full gravitational survey of all systems around you?

I just downloaded Aurora recently and in the game I started last night I ran into an odd problem.  I was playing with the default values for everything and everything was going swimmingly for my fledgling empire.  I'd found a couple good sources of minerals, started my efforts to form colonies, had a fledgling navy, and was rapidly exploring the neighboring stars.  Then I discovered they were all dead ends.  Including my starting system my galaxy seemed to consist of only 6 solar systems. 

Is this a bug? Extreme bad luck? Something else?
