What would the combat be like? Wouldn't the tactical screen be full of planets all clustered around the middle? That might prove to have some interesting battles. Imagine attacking a "system" with say 9 planets. How would you even be able to get at the planets toward the center? All the ones on the periphery with platforms or fighters could easily defend a planet in the middle. It would take a huge fleet to wipe out a "system" like that.
