Wishlist: High level design thoughts

[Anguille]

1. I want to be able to chose whether i want to have great galaxy or small. What i often miss lately, is that the Explore part is too most of the time too short. I want to be able to have up to 50 turns without meeting an alien species (at least a major actor) and having to focus on exploration with events on planets.

2. Same. I would like to see most battles with around 10 Large Battleships (with up to 30 escorts and hundreds of fighters). In a game, battles with more than 10 large Battleships should be really rare. Also the bigger the map, the more important are Battleships so the decision on where to send them should be very strategic.
