More and more blank spaces in galaxy 9....

Lotta drops outs in standard galaxy 9, wonder what player numbers are doing in trhe wider universes. I'm sure the game manager is as keen on a 'playable' 'Game' as anyone... Some people aren't getting the point (that I thought had been clearly made though). Sure, play the game as it is: Fine with FS...

Agree a 'Pause build' allows v mode in some cases that haven't the time to wait online. Can only help playability!

I'm not whining: this forum is for game suggestions. It looks like a good Beta, and I hope I can be constructive.

Sure I risk the accusation of being a 'whiner'. Still here's a ...

I've stopped playing but like the engine: I was looking around again: shame no more ideas being kicked around here

If Interplanetary missiles targeted factories? 1. Biggest players most vulnerable (cost-impact) who are pretty much invulnberable as is, (without making them unfairly punished for size either). 2. More interesting to have misssile options as Fleets seem to do the job for less cost-losses as it stand...
