That might be completely broken against UNSC players though.
The UNSC is already the slowest in slipspace and the weakest fleet. But give the Forerunner and Covenant an ability to direct jump to any planet would be extremely unfair for the UNSC.
Sure the UNSC has the best defense maybe but direct jumping means they would have to anchor stations plus entrench every single world in worries that they may be caught with their pants down. The UNSC already has enough to worry about on their frontline worlds let alone everything in the back.

Forerunners are already OP according to Canon, they dont need a direct jump line

IMHO, this kind of thing removes all strategic point of SoaSE's design, chokepoints and all.

It's a stalemate breaker but given the design of this mod. You don't need anything of the sort with Forerunners and Covenant.

Fair enough.
I should point out that a forerunner capital ship, while incredibly expensive, can be considered a game changer. There is no need for an attack behind enemy lines when you can smash through fleets (assuming you have a support fleet)

yes and it should be very pricey such as it is about 50kms long and it would have compelling forerunner shields way more then a keyship as the keyship can stand up to
"multiple squadrons of Longsword fighters and three UNSC frigates. The Dreadnought's advanced Forerunner armor allowed it to survive multiple MAC rounds and hundreds of longsword-launched ordinance completely unharmed" quoted from halo wiki
“This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell...”
