How we see in the new Spaceship view there will probably be more Areas to unlock. But i dont think it will be a good Idea to just connect these Areas whitout some sort of loading sequence, because my Pc lags enought with just one Area loaded. So i would rather enjoy if there where Planes or Spaceships transporting recources between the Areas.
@The_Samsam - Not a bad idea if other areas become available. Roads handle immediate local logistics requirements, trains for intra-regional and areonautical transportation for inter-regional (planetary); a logical logistics progression. Would certainly prefer this over Automation Empire’s, “stick a tunnel in a rock face and we’re done” approach!
