Repeatable Research

Sounds nice, could give a bit of an extra to continue a game after you've met victory condition (or if you turned them off).

The idea of en infinite powerfully fleet vs a factory that pumps out an infinite amount of ships. There should be some limits though unless you want out of bound numbers causing errors everywhere.

What would be nice is that there is a risk to going endlessly into technology. It could be that each time you redo a research you are % more likely to cause an universe wide catastrophe a bit in the line of how the endless met their end. All powerful, all knowledgeable or all sentient could have their own nemesis and downfall. Evil dust turning all planets barren, suns dimming and turning systems to cold, perhaps all species have a mental collapse making them lose science production over time. Your powerful automated factories pushing out fleets to annihilate you etc. etc.

Now that I write this it makes me think of the risky science events in that other strategy game. That can cause various lategame challenges.

Might be an interesting idea where researching these powerful technologies enough times comes with increasing risk.

i would be fine with repeatable end game techs with some minor bonuses, just some research sink in the late game that is not totally useless. alternativly a building that converts research into something else if you do not research anything.

I think they had those in the last game, not sure if there was one for science conversion though.
