Hello, so i've gotten quite a lot of alpha A.I cores and making a TON of cash from my colonies (1,5 mil a month from 8 of them) and i have yet to see ANY downsides to this investment:
*The hegemony doesn't "Inspect" my colonies for A.I cores (maybe it's because i have a Mercenary commision with them?)
*The luddic path sleepers really do nothing (well, there are some "rebellions" but they're always put down since the planet is so well developed)
*The luddic church/path doesn't really do raids on me, even though they have sleepers...
And that's about it, save from the occasional war i go due to my alliance with the hegemony - my colonies are really super *** ultra buff due to the synchrotic cores, the pristine nanoforges and beta A.I cores managing them while my Alphas manage the colony.
So what gives?
