wormholes

Would love to see random unstable wormholes. They have a chance to appear but don't stay for any length of time (maybe a couple days max). They would create a temporary bridge to a random, remote part of the galaxy. Could show up in Galnet news occasionally or something. Or just be discovered by players during exploration. I could see players rushing to get to them to get across and do some exploration, and get back before it closes. Some might get trapped on the other side...wouldn't that be interesting 
Hmm... One way would be interesting... I wouldn't like it to be able to take you to somewhere and back (I'm an explorer ).

Yes, the die-hard explorers might just decide to stay and make their way back the long Voyager-esque way. But the weekend warrior explorers (like myself), might want to just take a peek and get back safely. Seeing a "WORMHOLE COLLAPSE IMMINENT. 5 MINUTES TILL COLLAPSE" flash across the screen while I'm on the other side poking around, and looking at possible weeks to get back would be cause for underwear change
The way I see it, if we're going to have Thargoid conflict on any sensible scale, wormholes are a requirement.
Their emergence could very well be an interesting event as described above (I really like that idea). And then, some time later, a wormhole opens, a load of explorers go through it...
"Oh, hai there, Thargoid fleet... "
The war begins. Events are driven by wormholes opening up around the galaxy. And the battles are focused around both sides of the hole, humans trying to fight back the offensive and (at some point) campaigns for offensives of our own through holes.
Intelligence missions can be held to find out the pattern so we can start to plan the likely location of future holes. And so on.
