I can destroy planets... in the late game at cost of extremly high resources.

Realism? Do you realise *what* destructive power do planetary (plasma) napalms hold if they get to as much as 600 damage at lvl 5, much higher than any weapon you can think of? ANd as a fact whenever one is wiped of a planet its value decreases so the weapons actually do affect the value.

For the uses, one smart enough can design early ships and devastate colonies around his enemy and win the game. This brings in counter-tactics etc.
