You bet! In fact, some of them should be primitives with a tech level of zero: no discoveries, and no idea how to make any either.
It'd also be nice if warp drive was a discovery you had to make -- that way you could give it to neutrals near your rivals and suddenly they're a problem. Though I guess that eliminates the only distinction between neutral and AI-controlled player. Hmm. Maybe eliminate that distinction and instead have a score for expansiveness? Empires with a score of zero wouldn't expand beyond their home system, but could at least send warp ships against their enemies' home planets in retaliation.

Yes seeing more neutral little empires spread through out the galaxy would defenitly be cool, providing a variable in the settings file for the percentage of systems with life would be a nice touch.
