I've been playing this game since it came out, a few suggestions for stretching the fun out.
1.) The handicap
This is a great AI equalizer, give yourself a 2 - 6 hundred day waiting period before you build your first structure (aka no science) depending on your ability. Obviously if you play a race like the Dubtaks, Chanchamines etc, this does jack as a handicap really. Try a weak race like the Abryls.
2.) Alternate victories
Conquer all the home systems, and ONLY the homesystems
3.) DON'T CHEAT
We all know this is an easy one. Don't stall enemy planetary attacks.
4.) The Reboot.
After you've dominated the galaxy, Abandon all planets other than your homeworld. On your homeworld abandon all structures other than your colony base. If you need to abadon it and recolonize it.
Fun tricks:
THE INVULNERABLE SHIP:
Build an enormous class ship, fill it with wave scatterers to the point that you have more shield bubbles than even a nano-twirlers can damage, nothing short of a disintigrator can take it out no matter how long a battle rages for.
