Just because I think my thoughts got lost in the UP battle in the other post I am starting another thread to address new and hopefully addons through game updates on SDC changes to the UP council.
Please add your ideas below.
STOP THE GATHERING OF NUTS!

hehehe whoops...
er ah, I got an idea.
We all know that random events happen from the UP council, this race pays this, these folks have to pay for colonies or starbases....
What about them other events though... galatic prison, influence center... oooo 'nother idea!
1) Next screen from ?winning? a UP event such as galactic prison... is a list of yer planets... you pick which one needs the boost, after all its your empire the council mearly informs you that you get awarded the deal.
2) 'nother idea - similar to giving the planet away -
a. UP has recently uncovered some precursor technology has developed a "genesis torpedo" type device, who should get to try it out? (vote done, you win if UP) bring up next screen. You select an uninhabited planet in your sphere of influence and torpedo away...
b. Random event - Your labrats on "Planet X" have uncovered a precursor device that they theorize can change the enviornment, although they warn you that due to limits in current computer technology we have no way of knowing exactly what the biological onboard computer is exactly set to change.
Good - +/- 20% to planet PQ, but all inhabitants are kept safe (insert 500BC or high cost here in $$)
Neutral - +/- 5% to planet PQ, equivalent amount of colonists at risk (no additional cost)
Evil - +/- 20% to planet PQ, just flip the switch Spock! (sacrifice 50% population, no matter good or bad)
