[X] Xeno-Preservationist: A slightly more interventionist version of the Xeno-Isolationist party that still embraced minimal contact with species that were less technologically developed, but permitted humanitarian aid in response civilization collapsing catastrophes as opposed to having extinction level events be the benchmark for when the Directorate needed to step in.
 
You know, seeing the ecodome and ship graveyard, maybe there was a species here before the orcs came and overan everything. Or perhaps the dome is the last refuge from the orks.

[X] Xeno-Preparationists: The hard-interventionist option: diplomatic contact would be established, information would be relayed, but no material assistance outside civilization shattering calamities. That way, societies could prepare for the Destroyers. This would cause unpredictable damage to said culture, but it was seen by many as an acceptable compromise in the name of survival

My concern her is the hunters are doing just that: hunting. On a cultural level we clearly expect they'll be back and that it'll be a huge war, and any time we don't interact with other species is time they can't spend preparing in some aspect

The problem is that the Preparationists argument is self-contradictory.

It wants to warn aliens of a threat so that they can defend against it, but also wants those aliens to continue to operate as if all were normal.

But that is fundamentally impossible. In order for the warning to be meaningful, in order for the preparations to matter, they would need to be of such scale that they radically alter the society they take place in.

You got to remember, the Tekket faced one, broken ship while already a nuclear power, and they still had to be bailed out by divine intervention.

Bit of a question here.

Is this option talking about global civilizational collapse (aka, all civilizations of a planet in decline or collapse) or local civilizational collapse (a civilization in decline)?

The latter is far more interventionist than the former, and would basically guarantee an intervention on any planet within a hundred years.

since the option say this" A slightly more interventionist version of the Xeno-Isolationist party" it prob the former cause as u said it then not really embracing the xeno isolationist party policy of " that still embraced minimal contact with species that were less technologically developed" cause then as u said we be intervening every other day of the week

Tbh I'd love to know more about xeno-preservationist's standards.

[X] Moderate Xeno-Isolationists
[X] Xeno-Preservationist
 
Personally, i think we can spin this one of two ways with the Teket, either we go super isolationist because we distrust aliens (no wonder, one of them tried and almost succeeded at genociding us) or we go the more humanitarian route, what with us not wanting other species to suffer what we did to reach the stars.
 
ferrets already harvesting it- wait do we have to ask the locals.
Other ferrets -no its our loot now.
alright. they all run of with shipyard
