Offhand, I'd say that would be a bad idea. There is already an element of luck that skews games as is (systems, nebulas, breathables, etc.) without introducing another possible luck factor: ("Well, that sucked, the AI was right beside me but the AI in your area was 3 systems away") or, ("My AI attacked me right away while yours waited 10 turns to declare war"!). Etc.
Again, just an offhand thought.

Re: The perfect PBW game?

But there is still a matter of proximity and inter-reaction. After all, I think it's a dice roll, for example, for them to declare war on you and attack. Of course, the madder they get at you, the more likely that will happen, but imagine one KOTH player meeting the AI and it attacks next turn and the other KOTH player gets lucky for 5 or more turns?

Re: The perfect PBW game?
geo very subjective.
i personally like 36 hours
proven players or brand new players ( a mix of that )
6 or more
Small map : 1 to 3 planet start
med map 3 to 10 planet start
large 10 planet start
The ability to adjust the turn limit by 12 to 24 hours when needed ( once in a while )
Max 2 player alliance victory or Last man standing
Role Playing
I do not like the end game ... Just the middle of a game... That is when it is fun.
And no talisman. As they ruin the game.
