There's too many things in the game that do what they do so well that other things become completely obsolete. For example, once you have the hyperdrive the layout of the map becomes completely irrelevent; you may as well be reading the star names off a list. And once you have the PVC, enemy fighters may as well not exist, which neuters many races entirely.
If you haven't done so yet, you might want to take a look at my Drives'R'Us mod. In it I added more drives and more weapons, and then used flags/keys to make the biggest game-busting items turn up less often. Much of this was done to address the same issues you're talking about: I decreased the commonality of things like the PVC and Hyperdrive, and aimed for a somewhat more balanced power curve. It's available in one of the other threads on this forum.
