Hi

My first post just bought the game about a week ago. So far so good but was wondering about planet invasion.

It appears that all you can do once you clear up the off planet stuff is bombard the planet and start again. Ideally what I would like to see is the ability like say in "Imperium Galactic 2" to be able to invade the planet and take over their resources and stuff. It would certainly save some of my resources. Also it would add another dimension to the game.

Is this practicable in this game? Is it desirable?

The game itself is fun but I find the planet aspect a bit disappointing, given that you cannot go planetside or see what your improvements do to the planet. Whilst I think that the tactics and strategy side are very good (I have only tried small games) they seem to be samy. As I said I have only played small stuff so maybe bigger maps might offer a different insight.

Anyway looking forward to future iterations of the game and I do like Stardock’s approach to gaming very refreshing.
