Just started Assassins and loving it.
I particularly love the extra planets that have been added to the systems, particularly the gas giant Cerberus.
I went to visit it, which took me about 45 minutes of continuous jumping!
To quote Douglas Adams, Space is really quite big.

Cheers. Assassins adds a lot of stuff to G7 and some is just background. Some is important. 
I really wanted to make the Gas Giants unrealistic and have them a massive object in the sky dominating the normal planet in orbit. But this caused big problems with rendering if the main planet crossed them, so I made em realistic. Really Big but really far away. Extra Moons and planets you might need to go to are at a more sensible distance than 45 light minutes! The Gas Giants are at a proper distance, but the missions don't force you to go there, although you can explore the outer reaches if you like....OXPS : The Assassins Guild, Asteroid Storm, The Bank of the Black Monks, Random Hits, The Galactic Almanac, Renegade Pirates can be downloaded from the Elite Wiki here.
