The title says it all! I find the spheres of influence to be completely pointless and a nuisance. As if I CAN'T colonize a star system that is at least 5 parsecs from anything (apparently someone is influencing an uninhabited system...?)



I'm fairly sure from my limited reading that it is possible to remove the guardians trait in a mod, but is it also possible to remove the spheres of influence?

If so please let me know how it would be achieved.





Another suggestion would be to change the race generation mechanic so that only one of each race spawns in a game, unless otherwise manually selected.



Otherwise, I do enjoy this game quite a lot.
