I think that's what he wants, but you can't do it now because there'd be no way to stop it! So he wants something like: make this player computer-controlled for X turns, or until Z event occurs.

I think that something simple like that wouldn't take much recoding, but you'd have to live with the consequences of turning your empire over to your idiot nephew while you took a well-earned sabbatical from conquering the galaxy.

You could kind-of do that now, if you plan ahead. Instead of finishing off an enemy, leave him with one crippled ship and demand subjugation. Then, any time you want a rest, make yourself that player and turn your empire over to the AI. You can't walk away, though, because you still have to keep hitting the end turn button.
