Ok so this is just an Idea well more like a few ideas one planets could use some NPC's live villagers from simple tribes villages towns cities ranging from cave people to advance Space fairing people you can trade with them even the cave people they may have a statue made of a precious mineral or a peace of tech they found from a crashed ship like a gravity Block and they have been guarding it you could make ally out of the pirates and sell them the people you find on these worlds or you can find a CIV that is on the verge of space travel loot them or help them buy selling them a space core used ship dealers have food on planets so a faction can have an entire world for wheat crop to sell make into medicine or to supply a colony I think by default eating should not be a requirement but can be part of the game under options just like the textures in pre build 0.1 what do you guys think ?
