That pre-FTL still retains control of their world and if the player wants it, they'll have to invade and incur all the standard trade offs that come with conquering a world. That would solve the issue, since if the player refuses. With systems that have multiple habitable worlds naturally, there was already a need to bring back the concept of shared systems. Before someone says, but it takes longer, well take insight technologies off that list because that the cost if you want to pursue those.

For the low cost of just refusing to play ball. This gets to the crux of the issue though, you can just avoid that modifier, get all the insights you can from that pre-FTL civilization, get the planet and pops for free. Also worth noting that some of the insight techs are really damn good, so there is that opportunity cost with invasion as well. Maybe the Refuse option should cost influence? Or it could require an active/aggressive Pre-FTL interference policy, or a particular empire ethic (authoritarian/xemphobe/etc)? And instead of negative opinion that is rendered moot by the empire being deleted, it could apply Recently Conquered or another happiness/stability penalty to the planet's pops? Just wondering.Ĭonquering the planet while they are still primitive mean that you eat the interstellar culture shock modifier for ten years, which is a pretty nasty modifier to deal with. Annexing a pre-FTL otherwise requires conquering it (unavailable to the less aggressive empires), or covertly infiltrating it (difficult and time-consuming), but just saying 'Nope' when they ask for control of their system feels cheap. This seems a bit contrary to the spirit of the event. There is *technically* an opinion penalty from their empire, but their empire immediately ceases to exist so it is meaningless.

If you refuse, you get control of the planet for free with no downside. If you accept, their system becomes a new independent empire with an opinion bonus toward you. If a pre-FTL civilization inside your territory reaches FTL, they will request that you cede your starbase in their home system to them.
