Now if this idea ha already been suggested, I am sorry. Anyways..supernovas, or the total regeneration of a region. Say that after a long time, the game decides that the star is getting old and its about to blow. Scientists soon relise the stars uneveness, and order a large scale evacuation. Everyone's heart races as the last evac ship leaves the system just in time. Then, three possibilities come out of this:
One: A total void is formed, with some rare minerals here and there, and also many highly radioactive fields. Only the brave and the bold enter, getting mass fortune off of this jackpot, and those with scientific ships take great info from this.
Two: a darf star is formed, with new forming highly volcanic planets, again new resources, and maybe even new life, either hostile or friendly. This dwarf star will most likely never explode again in your games time period, and the lower gravity allows larger things to be built by companies. (Could explode again to go back to the void option.
Three: Black. Hole. Science vessels in nearby systems are notified by its presence and you get warned. Now, the area is closed off legally, but with one of your newer capitol ships has more than enough power to navigate there. By using the slingshot method, you can unsagly navigate, and shoot yourself somewhere that otherwise would take years to fly to.
---or---
You go in there, expecting the above, by suddenly you get hit by an asteroid being sucked in. Your sheilds barley save you, but you are then sucked in. Everything goes black. You wake up in a totally different system, different time period, with different teck and different people. A whole new world. Can you make it back by going through another worm hole? Maybe
Also to add, before the star actually explodes, however bad this situation is, with thousands of homes lost, you may be able to help. Send in large ships to help the helpless, and save thousands of lives with the larger of your fleet, or join up with the local military to set up shielding to protect transport vessels for a little while longer. You could also help in a science way, of your have a very modern and well rounded ship. With great menuvrrbility, good shielding and lots of energy to support them, and high tech scanners and computers, you gather lots of data. Selling this data gives you money, or even new jobs with new contractors.
Lots of other possibilities are in place, these are just a view.
