Random ones ^^ Doplganger is ok although i havent realy played many of the other random maps

What Photino said, also you die when you lose all your planets, this would make a huge seige/rush in late game ALOT more effective. For example i played a game online last night and one of my enemys was quite powerfull. I launched a suprise attack at him and tied up his fleet with mine while i had 35 Seige frigates destroy every one of his worlds, now i basicly crippled him but the seige rush itself dident kill him as he recollonised his planets. He actualy managed to use his

It wpuld probobly simplify the game, but would also make it less fun. So a no from me

I had 20 planets, i had more income than i could use even constantly pumping out ships from a dozen factorys. Its called TRADE. If you fill the orbitals of many planets with just trade ports then you earn alot of money. Basicly the person with more planets will allways be at the advantage mineral and money wise if they do it right.

It makes perfect sense to me but maby you dont read the ships name and designated fuction.

For me 15minutes is just right, any slower and they serve nearly no purpose.

Flack frigates have light armour, hence fighters will do twice as much damage to them as bombers. Use them

Uh the novalith cannon can shoot a planet from another planet, and it prevents re-collonisation So just nuke his planets with it. Alternitivly you could collonise the planets you take from him. Heck if you know where he is going to go ahead of time ambush his fleet with another one and force him into combat. Send fast frigates to cut up his fleet as he can only move as fast as his capital ships. There are lots of options if you look for them.
