Something I've noticed is that the core worlds are easy to outcompete, because they do not have any administrators. Chicomoztoc for example doesn't have the rare ore to power its refineries: but it would with an industrial administrator.

This would probably help with the noted "why do AI planets run at a huge loss?" issues too.

If possible it should be one of the characters on the comm list. Not that it makes any difference, but hey a tiny bit of flavour goes a long way.

It'd make a lot of difference if you were able to bribe them.

Or hire them!

Maybe some of them are slavishly loyal to their faction and you lose influence for even trying...

But maybe some of them, you can pay off to turn a blind eye at you cutting into their market share, or even pay to quietly sabotage their faction's production a little?

Just being able to interact with them at all would be good, honestly.

Agreed, this game needs more politics.
Currenly politics go as far as:
"Hey, stop intruding on my market share!"
*sends unprovoked attack to allied system*
"M-my random attack on an ally failed? Bully! BULLY!"
Basically all politics mean in this game is that you have to work hard to farm rep then bleed it over dumb things.

Also I really want to be the Space Mafia by being dangerous to police forces meddling with me, but I can't if I lose a total of 8 rep for not putting up with the nonsense of patrols.
Even though you only lose 3 rep if you attack them unprovoked.

Politics right now boil down to boiling their atmosphere away so they stop throwing temper tantrums instead of fixing their abysmal industry.
Not my fault my ragtag bunch of drugged up immigrants can outproduce their whole infrastructure in a cycle.
