So I was stargate as i usually do when im on the computer, for background noise etc (hehe just look at my name) Anyway I had just looked at the thread for people wanting to reduce the cost of colonizing a planet..I thought to my self Good guys dont enslave worlds, bud guys do...so Im going to throw around a few ideas...

1) Are you Good or Bad. Bad can enslave a planet, while Good protect it. You get a unoccupied planet and you spend a resource to mark it as under your protection/enslavement. Anyone who has scanned this planet can free/enslave it. A marked planet this way can provide you with a small benefit, you cant build structures on it but you get tribute from it. Its like a lesser version of colonizing a planet. This could also open up good/bad missions etc.

2) I see an enemy planet and I while I dont want the planet, I dont want the planet to produce anything. I can now blockade the planet. The planet doesnt produce any resources for its owner and i get a % of them. I can not build on it or destroy structures or anything else but its now not doing them any good. You would only be allowed X number of planets that can be blockaded per your rank/ship size/legion size what have you.

3) ok i honestly lost 3 "few" wasnt a lie -.-* maybe it will come to me later
