I like the way it works atm and how you can fight it off. The only thing I don't like is that if it is just one planet you are taking it leaves the enemies equipment intact and functioning.
One would assume that the people of that planet are the ones manning that equipment so when they revolt so should the equipment with them.
Only thing is you shouldn't be able to use a different races equipment. So in that case it should all be scrapped and salvaged for some materials.
Just a suggestion curious what other think about it.
Thanks,
