I am risk averse so I think isolation is the easiest course to EE. Until we're even close to the level of what blew up SPACE 20+ years ago, it's not worth going back there. I think diplomatic contact and recon in force would be unneccesarily poking the bear.

As for future surveying planets, we're not really talking about colonization yet, right? I think these are just surveying runs to gauge if there's anything worth going after. While future colonization costs matter somewhat, it's much more important to see what is there, correct? For instance, with Teegarden's star, with a nearby jump point, could we send mining ships to mine and transport back to earth if it's too inhospitable? I would be in favor of Teegarden, Luyten, and Sirius as places to survey and see if there's even anything worth attempting to mine.
