Low quality planets and Independants

[Deleted]

In discussing final star system quality, euphorion commented how he scrapped a game when his colonies ended up Q7 - Q8.

This got me thinking.

It would be nice if we had the option upon initial colonization of a system, if that system haf a quality of 8 or less, to sell off that system to independants (one chance only within the first turn).

Example: You choose to colonize colony X that has a quality range 2 - 20. You move your colony ship to an adjacent square, choose 'colonize'.
A message pops up that says something like "Colony X has quality 6." And there are two buttons: 'colonize' and 'Sell' or 'Independant' or something.

I would rather have this option than suffering through overcrowding and morale issues on a low quality planet that I am forever having to watch.

It will be nice if we can get the quality + mineral values before we commit to the colonizing. If the quality is bad enough then I can move on to something else. Or just take a chance if it is in a strategic location.

Yah this is already a feature of the Politics system, just debating with fallen on the balancing aspects of it.

What is part of the political system? See the values of the star system just prior to colonizing? Or selling the system to independants?

There's been talk of treaties that push a colony to become Independent. I'd guess something in that space.

Selling the system. The values of the star system rules are fixed and permanently part of ST 4X! We will continue to work to improve and take in feedback where budget and game system permit.

This is a good idea. My economy has suffered much because of overcrowded low quality planets.
