Mostly the ability to exclude yourself from the scoreboard (and the approved online activity http://www.zorgempire.com/forums/viewto ... =7&t=11355) seem to be obvious things to do.
I propose that some kind of reward system be implemented for those who choose to include themselves. I've seen in a different game that having ads ON gave a 1% boost to income so thinking along those lines...

Perhaps:
for choosing to include yourself in the scoreboard, provide a 1% boost to income from planets. (perhaps +0.1% for every position on the scoreboard held as well?)
for choosing to include yourself as appearing online, provide a 1% boost to energy.

or something along those lines...

This way choosing to exclude yourself from either will give you protection, but including yourself will provide a slight resource boost.
(if the +0.1% for each position on the scoreboard was included this would create competition for these slots, and the fleet positions might be dwarfed by one player, but if they exclude for an hour they can see what other people have)

i like this idea ... in the past there have been suggestions for prizes for the score board but it alway included rubies but i like this idea much better so a +1 from me
