If they are anything like 21st century humans it is probably best to igmore it. Wars, central banks and resource pillage. Instead of being friends it would just a new cold war. Or if they are actually nice we would just exploit them. Don't do it aliens! It's lost cause here on the new Venus!

What's interesting is that HD 164595 is a single stable main sequence G2 star, very similar to the sun, close to the same age (4.5 billion years).

There are very few stars so similar to the sun within 100 light years.

The only significant difference is it has a large 16 earth mass planet orbiting fairly close to it (near the size of Neptune or Uranus).
