If you became my protectorate (after I had attacked you a bit and taken your homeworld).
My first orders would be give me scrappers to take my tech up to yours in all the fields I am behind you. Evacuate these 3 planets that I want and set your research to prop sending me scrappers when ever you gain a level. (I would also ask/expect your game password so I could use your intelligence gathering and keep an eye on you Shocked

).

That would be your disadvantage for rebeling, the fact that you pay it upfront when you become a protectorate rather than when you rebel is just tough.

If you dont want to pay you dont become a protectorate and I try to damage you some more to the point when the deal looks good.

Also - those who did rebel and then found they had to sue for protectorate status again would find that the cost of the insurance they had to take out against rebelling again was Huge!

Of course you may find someone who wants to make you a protectorate at much more favorable terms, but the fact that they hold your homeworld would tend to mean they would be the ones setting the terms.
Also if you didnt obay the orders at any point there is nothing to stop them taking punitive measures (though this may cause you to rebel).

This is not to say that you wont find a HP that was made a protectorate by a -f suddenly finding they have been so protected they are now about to pass the -f in score/rank/ships and they may find they can do what they want and even ask for stuff as the -f is more scared of them rebeling than they are of punishment.

What can I say - the game is Empire building, make sure your provinces dont become so rich they feel they would be better off without you. Some players may even find themselves bending knee to those who they once ruled.
