I propose for some more power for ascension levels, but
not too much. In my idea you get limited-free-level every
1 or 2 ascension levels, and you can spend those on helper guilds,
like explorers and navigators, of course you still get a normal
free level at every 5 ascension levels.
And if you take navigators before you have those limited-free levels
they get replaced in the way that makes sense (you get a normal free level)
Also this might give rise to some more helper guilds, guilds that
don't have too much power but just make life a whole lot better.
