I have some more ascension ideas. Vote for the ones you liked
Black hole ascension: You move to the central black hole in the galaxy (like spore) and construct a black hole bomb. The spaceships destroyed by the explosion send their crews to ascension.
Advantages: it incentivises space exploration
Genetic ascension: You research the accelerated regions* in the genomes of civilised and awakening species to see which direction evolution needs to go in order to get even more intelligent. You need to collect a primitive sample and an evolved sample from 30(?) species. There is no ascension gate. As you collect samples, your species (and also your captain) becomes more intelligent and gains psychic powers.
Advantages: it incentivises space exploration and investigating the evolutionary history of different planets by digging for fossils, finding fossils like a treasure or getting that information from another civilisation by purchasing, having good relations or stealing. And in thrive galactic adventures, it gives a sense of progress, you can play harder quests as your captain gets more psychic powers
