[@ClocktowerEchos] Running with this. It would probably be a good idea to have a point system, a basic one. I suggest that instead of limiting the empire you limit the origins. AKA: each point dictates what kind of starting planet they have. A glorified rock. A mineral planet. A terra like resource rich one. Is their starting galaxy easy to move about in. You know, does it have asteroid, weird stars. A black hole near. Points for that. That way there can be...I dunno..blob brains in spaces suits with cool super suit tech. But the enviromental/outer limits logically cripple them.
