First game (diff 7), 28 hours, extraordinarly challenging, end disappointing

Wow this game is different! I'm an hardcore RTS gamer and I never saw something like this! Well done, really!
I had a lot of fun and at least 3 times I thought that I could win in the next couple of hours, and just few minutes later I was very close to lose the game!
At the end I managed to win sending all my troops in the galaxy to AI home just before the AI could send in 11.000 DEVASTATING AND UNSTOPPABLE CPA....
Yes I won but at least I would have been pleased to see all the f... AI ships blow up after I got the Home Command Centers.
Instead the AI continued to play and to annoy me...
This in my opinion should change just to give more satisfaction after such a long war!!!

There have been some suggestions to do more with the post-win game. Actually, originally when you won the game just stopped, but then people requested the ability to play further. At the moment though, killing both AIs won't actually change the way the game plays at all. So it's best to just enjoy the 'you win' text and victory music and not worry about anything that happens after that point, like crushing AI counterattacks.

I wish the AI could just reappear after a few dozens of minutes

I would either like all the AI ships in the galaxy to explode or go into permanent low-power mode, or for there to be some sort of mini-game follow up for cleaning the rest of the galaxy. Maybe some hybrid with defender mode where the remaining AI ships attack you in one gigantic CPA and you have to keep your home comm station alive. There's a lot of ways it could go, but I can see why messing around with things that you can do after you win the game proper would be pretty low on the priority list.

Such a thing does exist. It's under the AI Plots tab in the game lobby and it's called "Avenger". When you wipe out the AI Command Station, they send a congratulatory party to your home world.

I haven't played with it on yet, but as I understood it the avenger is a specific big unit that's created to attack you. The rest of the AI ships don't really enter in to it, do they?
