Re: Far too many planets
The time counter would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too easy to exploit.
Well, deleting I wouldn't really call an "easy exploit" but even then... I wouldn't mind. New tactics are interesting. And if perhaps even just newly or late joined players are in the centre of interest to get such tactics going... fine.
As I said, the disadvantages of joining late are vast but this might ignite some interest into them.
