I really like the idea, and I am happy to to stumble over this follow up thread. So my questions are not intended as nitpicking or malevolence. Just questions I would have, when reading about the story. Which could also lead to episodes by themselves.

  1. Any kind of defensive system could be used as a weapon; By accident, or by a splinter group of people (or politicians/power hungry). I believe there lays a nice philosophical question for a space lawyer/judge.
  2. Did they buy into the prime directive? Wouldn’t the use a lot of drones or cloaking devices to net ever be discovered, because they might become a target of more violent races, which like to take advantage of them or their tech? (Could be about a story about a century long space blockade of their planet. Which is maybe what they used as a bait or Honeypot, while being somewhere else already.
  3. Trading technology is it a big yes or big no? A story about the problems of trading with more dystopian planets. Cheers
