At the point where an alien is able to travel in person to planet Earth its society has mastered all the required technologies - but that also means they don't need our resources.''' They just could go anywhere, terraform any dead planet and avoid the hostile contact with humans. '''They will be able to utilize their home star. Energy problems solved.

In that case any alien youngster could devastate a planet. Hopefully their education would have improved as well. There should be supervising AIs on board. | At least for "starters"...
