UNLIMITED size maps...

Interstellar warp-point-less travel. I.e. you build a massive dreadnought, but oh! you forgot the size of the warp point in your system. Fortunately, you know a system nearby with a warp point big enough, and fortunately your dreadnought is equipped with MASSIVE engines. You send it on an interstellar sojourn to the system. It would take a little while, but it would work. Would also be nice for Generation Ships :-)

You CAN'T see how many systems there are or where they are at the start of the game. I.e. line-of-sight galaxy exploration. Would add to the realism factor, and IMO would not deduce from playability too much.

More ship pictures. DEFINITELY more ship pictures. Perhaps even REDUNDANT ship pics. Would be handy for modders :-) you want a massive starship-of-the-line? Fine, you just use one of the redundant pics to prevent confusion with smaller unworthy craft like Dreadnoughts!
