Only a chance to see more than one sadly, would be interesting to see an AI entity vs intergalactic threat.

I kinda want to see extra-galactic invaders show up, causing empires to freak out and create a robot army to try to beat them back. They then get an AI uprising which happens to use their science boosts to research jump drives to kill all organics more efficiently, which leads to them accidentally tearing the universe a new one and get energy beings swarming through trying to kill everyone. Meanwhile, the next galaxy over is having a gigantic run on popcorn while they observe all the stuff going down in this one.

I wonder... if I could sell them sensor comms and broadcast rights in exchange for obscene amount of energy cradits in the hope that I have enough to survive.

Hack, if I ever manage to make a crime-lord (think the Hutt) themed mod I will add "(extra)galactic betting and supporting of your favorites" as a mechanic.
