Surveying Quality 0 planets

One thing that would be nice is if it were possible to explore and study those lovely rank 0 hunks of rock that invariably are included in any game. The mechanics could be similar to investigating anomolies, only the planet obviously wouldn't vanish after being searched once. It just seems like a very nice "Star Trek" activity, particularly as it would involve the flagships. Ideally, each world could only be explored once by any race and an away mission would take a ship several weeks.

Just a thought.

Many people have suggested this...perhaps we can get it into an expansion pack

I would really like the class 0 planets to do something, maybe have a super terraforming tech that allows you to colonise class 0 planets and make them into class 4-5 or something. That said I like the idea of classing them as anomolies and then exploring them.

Really cool idea.

I wouldn't want to see any techs to terraform class 0 into low-quality planets though. Too much work for too little benefit that late in the game.
