when going through my planet list , i found that many planets owned by players who were without a legion had very few structures......so does that mean that over time, the structures on a planet owned by an inactive player self-destruct, and eventually the planet becomes unoccupied ? if this isn't the case, then why not ? seems to me this would be a good way to recycle planets owned by people who quit the game......beginning about a month after inactivity, 1 structure self-destructs, then every month after that 1 more self destructs, until there are none left, then 1 month after that it becomes unoccupied.....the same could happen with their ships, 1 module a month gets scrapped until there are none left, and then the ship self-deletes.......and inactive legions could go the same route...... any thoughts about this ?

well, I know when someone goes inactive, and stays that way for a certain period of time, all cloak on a planet becomes void, so that the planet can be found by other players.

actually I've noticed it too... and I thought it was weird that someone is not using the whole space on the planet
