System map ugly thing...need help.

Isn't there a setting for this in the Empire Options?

Yes it does.

Press the crown button for empire options.
Then choose the system display category and scroll down.

You've only got small/medium/large plus a resize with distance thing, but there it is.

Oh, how I wish Aaron had just used a 2D overlay somewhat like what starfury has, instead of these 3d sprites that manage to be both oversized AND pixellated at the same time.

With 3D sprites, can't you work around that by increasing the texture resolution but decreasing the in-game scale factor? That would involve creating new bitmaps at a higher resolution, since obviously scaling the existing ones up will only pixelate them again, but it ought to be possible...

The text for warp points? There should be something about the font size to use in MainFonts.txt in the Data directory...
