Well, it seems that right now, the first thing players do when they see a new player prop up is send a fleet to crush him.
Why? Is it for an easy planet?
The gains of conquest should perhaps be lessened somehow.
It used to be easy to grab, and still is but you have to send a few more ships. Still if they use scout defence you are screwed. Main reason, its a society level 50 planet or more when you arrive, it takes 50 days to get a colony to that lvl and you likely would have a smaller population as well. I try to only target newbies that haven't logged in for a week or two, no need to chase people away from the game.
