When I contacted Kwok about SE:Galaxies I said the same thing. It's a pity you spend a year getting fond of your empire and organising every facet so you reach the top when you have to leave it forever for the inconsequential reason that the game ends. If only you could run your empire for as long as it keeps your interest. The problem though with having a continuous galaxy with hundreds of empires is that once the experts build their superpowers its no fun being one of the little empires. When theres the US, China and Russia, what fun is it being Andora. I guess thats just why our games come to an end.
Hmmm personally Im more a solo player than a multiplayer. It would appeal to me to see a more solo Version done. The "fair and resonable" settings of any great multiplayer game tends to get in the way fo creating a great solo game (SEIV and Dom2 are pretty good exceptions). Many things in both games seem to have been decided in favor of fair/reasonable MP settings (map size, random events, new things appearing such as monsters or races). I havent tried StarFury much yet.

Id be interested in seeing a really large ever-changing universe which might build the new neighbors you meet based on your empires level. Maybe even import an SEIV game. Or better yet be willing to create a new universe based on attaching together multiple SEIV games. 4 games with their maps forming 4 quadrants of a new larger map. MUHAHahahahaha
