I mentioned morale in combat for ships like in Dom2, but I'd also like to bring up the topic of morale outside of combat... you ever notice how all your planets might be rebelling and forming new empires, but you can easily crush them with your massive fleets? So why don't ships and units ever rebel? Of course, one ship rebelling would stand even less chance than one planet, so perhaps they could rebel in some sort of group... all ships and planets from one empire that got really angry in one turn rebel together into one new empire, perhaps, with an increased chance of rebellion for ships and planets that are in insurrection? This would also help stem the "A breaks off from B, surrenders to C -> C gets all B's tech" problem, since A would be larger and thus less likely to surrender.
