You always have options as the player...find a relic ship, then don't investigate it. Find a special government, then don't have a revolution and use it. I'm personally against putting too many restrictions on the AI empires though, the stronger they are the more challenging the game is.

When I have stumbled into games with the default story line by accident, I have retired every ship I got, and attacked every damaged ship in a graveyard. Killing a graveyard is a lot of micro management, though.
The pirate onslaught in Shadows can make even the most anti-alien-ship person crumble and keep the goodies for a while, though :)

An easy fix for this might be to simply make it so relics and certain overpowering special locations cannot be investigated without a specific high tech scanner installed in your ship. That way they only come into play late game around tech tier 4 or 5.

The question is the AI using it, not myself. And I think people don't want restrictions, they want options.
