Better new map functionality, with ability to create custom lists like adding in custom plists.
An investment bank style feature, with term-deposit-like setup, risk/reward. Varying rates depending on level of conflict in galaxy maybe? Not much war, not much rate.
some small catch up method for the lowest x amount of families, or let's say, the Robin Hood effect, maybe a galactic event, that steals from the rich to give to the poor. Not crippling numbers, just something to help balance out things a bit. This won't ruin a great family, but it will help a struggling one.
Edit: let the record clearly state I was in the top family last round I played, this round I'm in the second family. Not suggesting these features because it aligns with my needs.
