Also I'd get rid of protection or cut it down to 24h. Let people start with a useable planet (give them points to spend on research/con etc OR let them select a premade planet). Give everyone access to a basic unit, planet and landing scan.
I agree with both of thoose points, MrLobseter's stuff is very nice indeed.

With protection, perhaps what we need is some additional quests that can be done during that time.

For example a good setup might be:
-5-10 quests thaty can be completed before ticks start
-5-10 quests that can be completed before protection ends
-5-10 quests that take you to your first attack/defence - on the road to growing your planet
-etc.

With tick start on a Friday evening, we waste 72 hours when most people have more internat access then normal with very little to do - so either shorten protection or give players much more to do during that time.
