I'd greatly appreciate if empires could make some territorial claims and try to have them recognised without full scale warfare. Like "this system/body is mine, no ships welcome" or "traders welcome, but keep your warships out", with the option to give it some force with a warning shot. There would be some diplomatic fallout, but not necessarily total war.
Military alliances, with effects on diplomatic standing depending on whether the player does something about a common foe.
If possible, also some expanded and international trade:
Inclusion of minerals. In case of unbalanced contracs, international or civilian trade: If demand contracts outstrip supply, supply by civilian or international partners for an appropriate wealth cost. If supply outstrips demand, the possibility of something being sold to civilians/international trade partners in a way similar to how civilian mining colonies work.
International trade would add very interesting scenarios, where outposts close to another empire's core might be economically dependent on foreign trade.
