Can you please make few adjustments to Caravaneers?

I hate those guys. especially if I encounter them early game before I can attack them. mostly cuz I always have a bad luck with them (unlike my friends who always roll beneficial events).

so I as for a few things which will make (at least my) life more enjoyable:

1) can we please close the borders to them?(preferably so they would emergency FTL out of the game) it's so frustrating where they go to your capitol and steal pops. it's even worse when they encounter something dangerous and turn back... to steal more pops.
not very funny to receive this even over and over again (my record right now is 20 stolen pops in 5-10 years)

2)I know some of their events can be good. some of them can be bad. but can we at least get a cooldown on them? like 999 years or something close to it (jk). even if they'll give me tech\ships\etc every time I meet them... I don't wanna ruin my game cuz they buffed me way too much (or nerfed).

and the last thing:
3) can we have a slider to turn them off during game creation? much like marauders.
would be great I guess to turn the galaxy into lootbox heaven (since they are now limitem) or turn them off completely.

Really? Here I was just wondering why they don't visit me anymore, it's been so long. Talk about a completely different response. I'm not against an option, more options are always welcome.

Talk about a completely different response.

in my recent games they were often stuck in some region(mostly near leviathans, but normal neutrals works too). spamming events to the unlucky\lucky empire that happened to be nearby.
and I realize that some people may have different encounters with them. that's why I tried to word my request in a way that'll benefit both who love and who hate them (unless you like to receive lots of events...but then again you might as well use a console to cheat)

I once spawned right next to them and was able to build around them. I got soooooo many events out of them. I genuinely almost felt like I was actually playing the game.

I got soooooo many events out of them.

yup. that's what I was talking about. and that's why I think a cooldown on events will be good.
