Empty space maps
Are there empty space maps, or maybe with less objects?
In my opinion there are too many cluttered scenarios which are really hindering the open space sea battle of the game

There's Abyssal, which has no cover at all, but it's almost never played because it's not very fun. The game mechanics are designed for maps with cover, so balance breaks down a bit when there isn't any - a lot of weapons become useless, and extreme range weapons can become oppressive. Alternatively, the maps Nyx's Eye and Canyon do have cover but less so than other maps, and those are played somewhat often. There are also plenty of modded maps like Giant Coral and Lunar Surface that also lack cover.

The point is that this should not ben COD in space, but open space fleet battles. But this is probably my vision
Open sea battles have always been rare and this would likely carry over into space.
Battles get pretty dull if its just ships slugging it out at long range in open space.

Doesn't really allow for much if any tactics.
Very early on the extra large abyss fights were fun to me. There are tactics involved, but just completely different ones. But I can see why the vast majority won't try it.
Open sea (space) battle wouldn't be that often anyways. Whoever is weaker (in force disposition or otherwise) are more than likely to not choose to engage in the first place, and even if they have no choice, it's always better to avoid prolonged battle and preserve their naval assets than go for total destruction. Most naval mission taskings are likely involve some sort of POIs, valuable cargoes or important targets. Annihilating hostile naval force sounds fun, but likely impractical or too risky in most case.
Why would you need more than one completely open map?
