Greater galaxy size and generation options

This is a rather simple one, but i have a good several ideas.

I'm the kind of guy that likes to get lost for days' worth of time in my game, fine-tuning my empire, warring, politicking, etc.


So for a guy like me, the larger the galaxy, and the more stars, the better. This is probably an option only for the beefier of computers, even just for generating the seed, but I feel something like this, where you look at the raw size of the galaxy in comparison to your tiny home system, and think "Ohhhh holy crap that's a lot of room to conquer" will be a serious game improvement in the long run, as well as for the longevity of ES2 as a whole for players.
