We examine the maximum dimension of a linear system of plane cubic curves whose Fq-members are all geometrically irreducible. Computational evidence suggests that such a system has a maximum (projective) dimension of $3$. As a step towards the conjecture, we prove that there exists a $3$-dimensional linear system L with at most one geometrically reducible Fq-member.
