Slave mines are a very interesting idea. would give incentive to blow off the points to get emotionless as well. As far as the cargo - you haven't found it to be problematic? Do you use fighters/drones/etc. much? Ever had an unstable star go boom? Even with 50 ships hauling @$$ I barely put a dent into it before it went boom. As far as the urban facilities go, I agree that they are quite sweet but don't you think that 70+ years for the construction of a *single* cultural center is somewhat harsh? Even trying to put enough simple cities on a world to warrant changing the colony type to "Developed World" takes longer than most other games Last.

As a side thought, is there any way for a facility to increase a planets max population. I was thinking that that would be an interesting addition for the urban facilities. It would be interesting to try to represent the "hiveworld" where people are stacked on top of each other (sometimes literally) in their arcologies and such. Don't think it can be implemented yet but one can dream.
