first i want to say, that i do not like playing beta as much as i liked alpha. i felt the game to be a little confused. maybe it's just because there are so many players playing but i miss the way playing alpha felt structured kind of. When all this stuff like networth, status, stocks and supremacy wasn't part of the game yet it was all about dominion lvl, because your dominion lvl stated how many planets you were able to control. so everyone was trying to upgrade it as fast as possible. so attacking other players was kind of the most important thing in the game. as soon as you increased your dominion lvl your were the first one to take over a new planet and to benefit from it. but you had lost a great part of your army to get there and all the others still had their armies. so you were the main target, the most powerful and most vulnerable player at the same time. all the others wanted to attack you because they would get a lot more dominion lvl points from you than from others and you could not attack anyone because you had to wait until the next one rose to your dominion lvl.

i'd really like to have this back in the game. it prevents from having a huge difference between players as it is at the moment. also it protects weaker players who just started playing from getting exploited. and i think it will bring some more fights into the game (the systematicc annihilation of every force that is not the first ones' doesnt count as fihgt in the way i mean it here). what i mean is some wars with revenge and all that stuff. i think alliance wars will be very interesting in this system. and networth, status and supremacy fit well together with this structure of dominions.

please tell what you think about that if you had the leisure to read all this. ;-)

I wasn't here for the alpha, but this sounds really interesting, but I think the additional stuff adds more flavor to the game, like stocks puts a new importance on currency and your empire size isn't the only factor in your power level, it's a mix bag of stuff.

that is exactly what i mean. in alpha it was nice but of course it was not enough, because it was not as dynamic as it is now. but i think at the moment it is maybe a little to much dynamics... it became a little clouded. and i think a sound and simple structure like the thing with the dominion lvl as i explained enriched with the dynamic elements like the supremacy and the stocks would make the game a better.
