During a sweet game, trade treaties went up to about 50%. I was in Last place but because of all the resources I was getting (about 1 million a turn) I could build a space yard and multiple space stations on nearly every planet. I got into a war when I wanted to spice up my turns and another race was taken planets in my space. We both built massive fleets (I had at least 2 fleets with 300 Battleships) and because of the warppoints everywhere and the preponderance of nebulas the game turned into a totally strategic war. Research was even. Resources were even. We both had huge fleets. Every turn I logged in wondering which direction he took and which fleet of mine could ambush him. The totally strategic game made a difference from the usual micro-management task.
