Well in this case I was thinking Mining. I'm level 31 and have 40+ planets to choose from but everything rated higher then this is either owned by myself already or owned by an enemy. It will take me far more time and resources to try to capture a planet and then I would need to spend more space defending it. I'm staffing up for another scan blitz but the least one was less then useful. A lot of tiny sparse moons. It didn't leave me a great selection to choose from.
Now if you had a planet you wanted to lend me instead.
