Greatly reduced frequency for precursor ship events, or potentially a toggle ot turn them off entirely. Super powerful ships appearing out of nowhere (and thus turning the receiving civ into the most powerful military in the galaxy no matter what they've done all game otherwise) are anti-strategic, to say the least.

I've seen posts around here about the Yor being overpowered, I've never seen them with more than two systems and they usually get eaten by the ALtarians or Tori
