MAIN IDEA

Heres a little idea, No fly zones within your empire. You could limit off entire systems off to all but the best of your ships. This no fly zone would aplly to both your ships and ally ships, short of you giving a ship a direct order to go there. In these areas you would get X percent better counter intel because of the limited travel. Also if you did this to your home sector it would make the people unhappy but that effect would not apply to a system made up of military installations, research and intel compounds.

MAIN IDEA

Next little idea, Escort for ally ships, if you dont like random ships roaming your terrotory then you could give them a ship(s) escort until they leave your terroitory. This would help prevent sneak attack by former allies. Also a ship could try to avoid this with cloaks and what not.

MEDIUM IDEA

This is a minor thing but i think that if you capture a enemy planet especially homeworld it should imparetive that your enemy recapture it not just bLast it. In one of my games i captured an AI homeworld with troops and then couldnt defend it so i had to leave it to be destrioed, anyway my enemy just bLasted it with no attempt to recapture it. I think that should make the orginal owners race people very unhappy.

MINOR SMALL IDEA

Nother Idea, If you cut off a ship from its home race, like completely destroied them or cut the only wormhole back, each of there ships would show up as its own empire and would get X number of turns to either make a trade alliance with you or another race for supplies or it could settle a planet, each crew quarters would give 1 million people
