Colonization/conquest

I always thought having a colonized planet gave my fleet an identity, that it wasn't just another armada.

But I'm just soppy like that.


Bring it back, and give it some defences! Extra points!

Yeah, I actually liked colonization from the original A2..

Must admit, I do kind of miss colonizing and defending planets, and conquering them too... &nsbp; &nsbp;

Well! I honestly thought that I was going to be flogged and humiliated for wanting colonization back.
But the whole realism thing was ruined when I saw the ship getting smaller into the atmosphere.
But then again, how would you do that?

I take back my nitpick.

Also, remember crew is no longer a resource. So planets wouldn't be worth as much in less you gave them some other kind of ability like some giant planetary cannon.

We will readd planets as a gameplay element in future versions currently they are just eyecandy
