Well, you were the number 1 player in the beta game.
And if anyone thinks it should stay just easy to manage 100 planets as 10 then you are off your rocker. The more planets you have the more difficult it should be to manage them.
In otherwords if you have hundreds of planets it should ALWAYS take far more time and effort to keep track of them, manage the colonist levels and keep them from harm than managing 10 planets.
For many people there will come a time where they can't manage the planets they have anymore because there are too many. Those are the breaks. managing an empire isn't an easy job.
