Re: The neutral challenge
Alpha nails the joy of this style (for me anyway) - the uncertainty.
You think contact might come at anytime but you can never be sure. My 175 turns were filled w/more tension and a sense of urgency than I could recall feeling in any other game of SE4.
My next recommendation would be to max out the number of Computer Active Empires in a game (I have seen, I believe, 20 total empires at one time) - this would increase the likelyhood of 1st contact at a reasonable time but it does tend to make turns take a rather long amount of time - lots of empires, w/lots of stuff to do.
