I've found a space-with-stars tileset, so we'll see how that works out.
But, for the last time, I don't see the distance issue as a problem to be "solved". It's an important element of this particular map's strategy, the same way as the timer and the population limit. (If you're playing the Humans, it's not even that important of an element, since you can upgrade to "Fusion Reactors" and "Antimatter Reactors", or go find the Varanids and unlock their secret. The Symphylids aren't so lucky as far as movement speed, but that's supposed to be made up for by their cheap cost, short build and terraform times, upgraded attack speed, etc.)
The theme of this map happens to be: "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is." It's a theme that worked out pretty well for the original "Homeworld", and I wanted to test it out in "Warcraft". I'm sorry I didn't make that clearer in the beta; I'll correct that in the final version. If it's not a theme that appeals to you, may I humbly suggest that you download any of the dozen other space maps out there? (Especially Psiblade's "Orbiting Battle", since he is also desperate for attention. )
