I understand that since this game revolves around getting the votes to become empress, it may seem like having many social actions when in deep space would be pointless but it seems so wasteful when you just have to skip like 3 or 4 potential actions. Can I ask for there to be an option with more of your advisors like with Knexia and Vasily to take a lesson in their respective field of study, or like how you could use allure on the star admiral to get 5 military or change their opinion of you? I know that you can still denounce and poll people, but it still feels like there's a lot of actions being wasted. Thank you!

I feel like deep space needs more neutral mood changing actions or something in your down time. 

Edit: after playing around some more I think that managing your moods is fine with enough practice but I do have far too many turns where I have like 2 social actions and nothing to do. It would be nice if you could utilise each friendly council member to boost a skill like OP suggested.
