One thing I remember whenever I started a new empire was getting absolutely curb-stomped by powerful empires within a week of first starting out. Since the neutral zone is getting removed, maybe players who are less interested in PVP can start out in areas with greatly diminished fuel and resources, so the bigger and more fuel consuming starships would starve out. I don’t really know much about fleets because I rarely reached the interstellar phase, but that’s my pitch.

Unfortunately, starships can sometimes reach an autonomy that would be numbered in weeks, if not months. Though, I'd like to feed the topic with another idea: replacing the "neutral" zone with remote, poor-resource areas. As in, quality would never exceed 125, or something along those lines. That would make bigger empires much less interested in these sectors, as resource would no longer be a valable casus belli there. Although, that would mean small casual empires who want to stay away from PvP, couldn't really reach an exorbitant tech level in the long run. But that's only fair, if you ask me; with high stakes come high risks.
