if you get tired of peacefully building your empire you always have mankinds other favorite pasttime, WAR. myself i prefer to peacefully build my empire. there are 3000 systems to explore, with 20 people playing the game thats 150 systems each times 5 planets per system gives us each 750 planets to rule. i want to see how many i can control before i go crazy from the amount of management necessary.
so i would agree with atrocities reasoning for the game.
