So... does it get any better than this? I mean, I haven't progressed very far really, but unless someone finds all my planets and wipes me out, there's nothing much to stop me (eventually) having stacks of 5 planet systems with impenetrable defences and hundreds of millions in the bank... what is there to do then? Or is this whole game just a cleverly devised lesson in the fundamental emptiness of an existence devoted entirely to the accumulation of material wealth?
