I have to say, I'm seeing a lot of rquests for some sort of "galactic council" but I don't like it. SE4 already has the basis of an excellent political system (if the AI could just be taught to use it properly) - These "coucil" things seem a bit contrived imho- . Presumably they would only appear after first contact..? I guess I wouldn't mind if you were able to switch them off.
