Sounds like a Lock-Down on the PC. We do it our office as well to prevent users installing non-standard software that would screw up our Custom setup. Local install require Admin rights. It is a Security thing.

Back in the GC1 days we used to colonize a weak rated planet, 12 or 13 and then gift it to those who we knew would become your worst enemy. They would spend so much resources trying to upgrade it after that, they would not have enough resources available for a military strike before you were. Can you still GIFT colonies?
