Hi. I know this might seem silly, but I checked out my ranking (1158), and thought, 'wow', moving up pretty fast. Then I noticed that the bottom 1103 players (from 1507 to 2610) have zero points. Have all these people just joined? Is there a time limit for them to remain on the rankings if they're inactive for a long time?

Also, Is there an advantage to colonizing other planets? And if there is, should I build my home planet to full capacity first, or just go out and start over? It seems to me I can defend one planet better than a bunch of them, but maybe I'm way off base here. Any help would be appreciated...

Yes those are probably members that tried the game and didn't like it (personally i think it is fun)
There accounts will be deleted in a about a month.

Yes, colonising other planets can give u an advantage. First of all u make resources on both planets. It should not be much trouble defending planets... just build a shield dome & a couple light lasers and u will be good for a start.

Thanks CT27. I just sent a ship to a system a ways away, but uninhabited so far.
