You would need a collection of csv files (for planets, fleets, etc), so that adds some complexity.

Not too much, I hope. There's a bunch different "data tables" that need to be considered, and it makes sense to keep 'em apart, even if it's just as independent chunks of the same json file.

* race params (all races together? makes sense, but sounds... weird)
* Univ params, including the techtree (plus hull defs & fuel tables). PRT and LRT params. HWs?
* fleets (incl Ship designs), planets, diplo settings, research status, battle plans, default Qs
* messages? (at least player-to-player) Multi-turn orders? Minefields. Packets. Transport Orders.
* battle reports, MTs, WormHoles, comets, player_orders, salvage, scores, etc.
