When does flux load the star system maps?

[Second Chance]

When does flux load the star system maps? Are they all loaded at once when the game starts? I assume this is the case.

I was thinking that if I could load just one system map at a time, I could have more happening in that system during the game and still conserve memory. Then when the player jumps to a new system (I’ve eliminated L-Points in favor of hyperspace like travel), I could unload the current system and load the new system. Is this reasonable, or even possible, to accomplish? I would actually prefer jumps between systems to take a minute or two, and a loading screen would fit the bill nicely.

I guess the real question is: Is it possible to load only one map from the clusters.ini file?
