I think the object of the game is to waste our lives away on the web. I can not really find any other reason to play it. Addictive like Planetarion, and Earth 2035, but more pathetic.

Oh I editted my post below too.

if you get tired of peacefully building your empire you always have mankinds other favorite pasttime, WAR. myself i prefer to peacefully build my empire. there are 3000 systems to explore, with 20 people playing the game thats 150 systems each times 5 planets per system gives us each 750 planets to rule. i want to see how many i can control before i go crazy from the amount of management necessary.
so i would agree with atrocities reasoning for the game.

So... does it get any better than this? I mean, I haven't progressed very far really, but unless someone finds all my planets and wipes me out, there's nothing much to stop me (eventually) having stacks of 5 planet systems with impenetrable defences and hundreds of millions in the bank... what is there to do then? Or is this whole game just a cleverly devised lesson in the fundamental emptiness of an existence devoted entirely to the accumulation of material wealth?

Probably one of mine. I tried a strategy I found on another board- repeated kamakazing defenses- and uh, the Last time I forgot about the escape pod. Kersplat.

i just went to alliance planet list and the two planets i cant capture are part of the alliance i belong to. is it possible that one cannot capture planets that are corporate or part of the alliance one belongs to?

this game looks like it could be alot of fun, but im thinking it would be better not to get very deep in it. I think im going to have to stop playing.
