The situation is I have three colonies in one system where I've pretty much maxed out everything I can build for now (two size 6's and one size 5 so waiting to get them all to get to size 7 for more room, slow) and which yield an income of about 250k per month. I haven't used any of my stock of alpha cores on anything yet. My fleet comprises four Paragons, a Legion and sundry auroras, apogees, various smaller ships and support ships, I can make as many more as I like but since I can only have one fleet and battles are limited to 500 deploy pts there doesn't seem any point in doing so. I can do any 300k+ jobs I feel like. I already have 4m in the bank, it doesn't seem like I need any more money. I can just kill the pirates and Path bases whenever they have the impudence to (futilely) attack my system and I just pay off the regular factions and do a few jobs for them for fun and profit to curry their favour.
I'm not sure what to do next:
* Is there any point in starting a new colony system, what would that achieve?
* I could conduct a full survey of all the outer systems - but to what end, what am I likely to find?
* I could decide a faction I don't like, the Church for instance, needs to die. Can you actually kill a faction and is there any point in doing so aside from ***** and giggles?
* Is there some official end point or win condition for the game I am ready to go for now?
