High Influence - low pq systems

In my current game (Lastest beta of expansion pack) I am runnig into systems with very high influence but no planets worth a colony. ie System Geta - influence 60 1 planet pq 5. What should be done with these systems?

Ok, I was not sure they were worth the disadvantages of such low pq worlds.

Thanks

put a million "lucky" folks on a Cship and put a little money in PQ improvement. Who knows, maybe you'll get a PQ event upon arrival. Kill those worms!

Well I was actually joking Java. I never colonize worlds lower than 11, and that's late in the game. After getting Habitat Improvment then I'll settle for 13 and higher. After terraforming and getting 'the terraformer' then I'll go as low to 11.

Concerning influence...as long as you keep up in wonders, SB's, resources, etc... You shouldnt have a problem.

Planets under PQ10 cost 5bc + (10x Government level), ie 15bc under Imperial and 45bc under Star Federation.

Not to mention hellish morale. So consider carefully before colonising them.
