Yes, I have a similar one in my current campaign. I can't decide whether to just exclude very eccentric planets as potential home worlds, or leave it alone for flavour. The NPR is likely to correct the problem anyway by building lots of infrastructure.
I assume their home world has a very eccentric orbit?
A bizarre race has been incorporated into the empire.

That's a cool design approach! But what about jump drives? Do you need one for each, of the appropriate category?
Do you regret not adding a few "sublight propellers" to the military section?
If you want to maximize your potential returns, scan the asteroids with the highest gravity - specifically, from what I've seen, asteroids that don't require LG infrastructure tend to be more likely to have minerals, and if they have minerals, they're more likely to have (very) high concentrations.
Hmm...this is intriguing. Now I'm going to have to do some correlation testing.
Then again, my primary use for asteroids is orbital mining, and that requires small asteroids.
Still, it would be interesting to find an optimizable survey pattern.
