Game does this from time to time with long event chains: precursors, species procurement, rich asteroid targets, gas giant species migration - you name it. It would be nice if dev's would add some tech for disguising science ships for such occasions.

Funny enough there wasn't anything in the system? :( either my federation buddies or the fallen empire must have gotten to it first
May be FE has found something on this system what made them mad on you? :)

But seriously, for few precursor chains I've completed I don't recall finding something awesome in the end anyway. Maybe some resources or experience for scientist.. but definitely nothing to justify 150-year long quest.

They didn't like it when my borders started to rub up all over them. Yeah it probably doesn't, but this war just got me some juicy new systems.

Beast babies?

That's a laughable sentiment- open borders impacts so many more things than availability of research sites.

Barely. The Devs whole justification for having them be automatically open was so that it didn't impede exploration or in-progress questlines once the player inevitably finds themselves boxed in by their neighbors.

Well... That's kind of a pointless gesture when you can't discover any anomalies, including the variety that many in-progress questlines require for completion, in space owned by another player anyway. The problem is almost exactly the same as before.

Your best bet was simple conquest before, and it's still simple conquest now.
