The universe should not be limited, exploration and resources should not be exhausted by power players.
This mod/modcollection is intended to make the game last longer to power players. Resources such as avorion should remain available even in the event of a near-complete destruction of the core factions, for example. Similarly, new challenges and interesting things should be achievable even after the main game itself has been beaten.
Exploration of the universe, collaboration in alliances and cooperation should be stimulated, especially for end-game players, to whom the game otherwise will become uninteresting.
