I was right. I _am_ too nice. The mineral / organic output from a primitive world would only be a few thousand at most - hardly sems worth the effort of subjugating them. I'd rather settle for that warm glowing feeling you get from obeying the prime directive=-)

I quite like the idea of their output being so low as well - you can see on the treay grid who's desperate for resources because they have a trade alliance with the pre-industrials.
