Speaking of stellar manipulation: one component I always wanted already in SE IV is the "genesis generator".
I first destroys every object in the system with the exception of warp points but then recreates a random standard solar system.
And make the "only one sun per system" restriction for star creation moddable. I like to have multiple sphereworlds in a system!

Great idea, I would definitely like to see this. Maybe it should only work in systems without stars though, we already have plenty of weapons of massive (stellar) destruction in the stellar manipulation techtree in SeIV, and somehow this component sounds more like something that should create stuff, not destroy entire civilisations. but it's a very nice idea!
And a suggestion of my own: (not really a new idea)
I saw in the new SEV screenshots that the race portraits have gotten a major upgrade from seIV, They look absolutely stunning compared to the weird "floating-heads-with-huge-eyeballs" aliens of SEIV. The new race pictures definitely help give the races some more character. What I'm hoping is that the speech files for the different races get simillar attention, SEIV shipped with just one speechfile that was used for all the races (mineral planets are the best!). I know from personal experience that writing a good speechfile takes a lot of time, (I did the united flora ages ago) but it really helps in giving the different races more character, you could really start hating the arrogant jraenar, and feel sorry for the friendly but naive EEE. I know this could also be done by the modding community after the game is released, but I think it would be a good selling point for the game if the races in the game are really different from eachother, it makes the universe seem that much more alive and exciting.
