I know it was a bad idea... but they are like decoys, people think that i only have 16 planets when i really have 21, so when they espoinage the planets bunched together... they will think im not worth attacking because i dont have any resources when i really have a good amount of resources on one of the planets far away from me, then they will leave me alone, do you see what i mean?

I guess. I level my planets pretty evenly so that wouldn't work for me

I dont care about my colonies, i dont level them out with my home planet, thats all i work on is my home planet, i only use my colonies to transport and deploy, and thats it.

It was from 3 people. And yeah, most of the top dogs know the location of all 21 of my planets, as i do theirs. Things like that are important for survival. Watching your "enemies" movements are vital.

Some people do regular galaxy sweeps to keep their information updated.

That works until you run out of space. 163 fields isn't really enough for me

I only take colonies with 250 feilds or up.

Home planet has 163, and leveling out your buildings is much more efficient than having one very strong planet.

my home planet has 175 feilds, really 163 feilds because i have terraformer level 3.

But after a certain point terraforming becomes too expensive to be profitable

That is true, but i think i can get it up to level 5
