I don't know if this was suggested before, but I would like to see more political parties to choose from/appease, as well as new government options. One, the religeous types would be fun to put in, and can be made in an abstract way as to not offend anyone. (Though we'll mostly be dealing with abstract, alien religeons.) And being able to choose this party would be interesting. To have an alien empire run by clerics with starships, like many sci-fi shows, movies, and videogames we've seen before (Halo's Covenant, Stargate's Goa'Uld, on a lesser model, Galactica's Cylons.) I would love to be able to choose a party that upped my loyalty and increased my courage but let my research go into the gutter. It'd be fun to convert the space heathens...INTO RADIOACTIVE DUST. Secondly...what about a hive-mind type dynamic form of government. One that allows someone to make a monolithic, facelss race with insect or robotic drones of some sort. Food for thought, though I definately want to see more possible parties to appease, and choose from. I hope someone reads this...
