Have to admit I'm thinking whether it's worth it to keep playing the game. The amount of time and effort it's taking me it just feels more like a chore than anything else. I could easily spend a few hours every day just clicking through planets to keep things moving. Heck, it already takes almost an hour to just move my fleets from newly taken planets to new ones and from outlying planets to the production centers. I don't even want to think what it would take to go through my planets to start all the upgrades I've missed on hundreds of them.
The game turns seriously unfriendly towards you once you start a war, take/lose planets or grow past a certain point.
Currently, on the days that I actually do something in the game, I spend in excess of 4 hours checking fleets, assigning new targets etc. This is why most days I just log in and check my messages, who the hell has 4 hours a day to spend on a web game.
