Yeah Tarnus, it sounds pretty good to me, especially since I was thinking about something along those lines anyway. Even before all this was demonstrated in the main game, I was thinking about how I'd like to see the planets do more to protect themselves, eg., the Indies seemed to stupid in past, and didn't lay enough sd imo.

As you guys know Tarnus, There is already a little something in place when trying to capture a planet with nothing else other than a huge sum of credits and the attacker is really small... But of course thats not enough because some will always try to find a way around things. But what I had said to myself is that I'd really like to see the colonists take more action and some more randomness in this area. It'd be realistic that if a planet was just dropped to give credits and had hardly no colos, goods, etc.. then its more than likely you will never win most of those credits after a victory. I mean not only is there not enough Peeps to manage all the money (Bankers
), there is also always the possibilty that some of the colos fly off in an escape pod with some of the loot (Yay thieves).
) but it just seems a wee bit restricting. I like the idea of raiding a planet of credits if its left with poor defenses comparative to the amount of money on it, so I'm thinking up other ways of naturally discouraging leaving planets too undefended.
