The number of factions during a single player game. (Master of Orion (2016))

Hello everyone!
Anyone in the know if there are any plans to expand the number of AI opponents in single player mode?
There are 8 factions available, and there are only 5 slots for opponents, which is not very good at all. Although proceeding from the fact that even with the choice of the "Large Galaxy", it is not very large and there is nowhere to cram additional mobs there.
