BTW, you could do a little of what you want by setting up the map with no WPs. And you'd want to mod the research cost of stellar manip, or else the game would take forever. Unfortunately, the WP Creator component only works once and makes a permanent WP. Whereas, what you want is a WP Creator component that works as many times as you want, but only makes temporary WPs. So what we need is for MM to give us a wider variety of WPs. Along with that, I'd like to see WP Stabilizer components, for putting on starbases.

Something you can do with SEIV as it is right now, is to make huge galaxies with lots of empty systems, in order to simulate the vast wastelands of interstellar space. Then give everyone WP Creation/Destruction at the beginning of the game (otherwise the AI would be totally crippled). Maybe QuantumReactor also.
