I was thinking, sometimes you start a game, start to explore 30-40 systems, colonize dozens of planets and so on, the game start to get little boring because obviously you can't find any new NPR or space invaders or this famous "humans" lost ages ago ( I really wish to find them).
You are missing the most important factor in a game: competition and communication
So, I was thinking, Steve, about a new installation, a radio telescope or something like that, which works as the SETI program, giving the player indications and suggestions ( the bigger the installation, the more accurate is the information), where to find NPR or other forms of lives by catching radio signals.
Just managing your 40+ survey vessels is a full time job in this game.
True, until you can get Ion vessels with 60 months deployment at least it is a job!
Just set up their standing orders + check "exclude alien controlled". The only problem left is deployment - either set it to very long or be like me and design your survey ships around 25% effectiveness. Its near-full automation.
The main issue is with systems that have more than one star - I have had scenarios where there have been stars with good planets but are 300bn km from the primary. Even if there are lagrange points the standing order 10bn rule doesn't care so will need manual intervention. But even then all you need to do is give one survey order on one of the bodies around that star for every ship you want there and the rest of the bodies will be surveyed.

Or boost the chance of an NPR on a habitable planet to 100% and go on an exploration spree, you still won't know anything about when/where, but it won't be long.I was thinking, sometimes you start a game, start to explore 30-40 systems, colonize dozens of planets and so on, the game start to get little boring because obviously you can't find any new NPR or space invaders or this famous "humans" lost ages ago ( I really wish to find them).

Why not just use Space Master and generate some NPR to fight when you get bored... that work pretty well in general.
I honestly think that once u start playing with 5% survey speed and 15% research you already gained something like 100 to 150 years game time before ypu can be a threat for any NPR or Spolier race.
If you do add 50% chance generation of NPR and bump up 30% chance for NPR to generate another race then you are in for a hell of a ride...
