Most people would say the best part of pa, by far, is working with your galaxy to cover incommings (i certainly would, as long as its a good galaxy). That can take up entire mornings..
I cant imagine PA ever being a game where someone "inactive" could be top10 (unless its an XP round, or he has mates who put in all the activity for him - and since I'm being accused of being sexist elsewhere, i should add: "or her!").

Thats's not what I'm suggesting, though I can't blame you for being confused. When I said "do well", I basically meant that PA should be playable no matter how inactive I am, though obviously within reason. If I choose to log in twice a week, that should be possible without seeing that my planet has been reduced to ashes every time I log in.

So I do think there should be a semi-vacation mode possible - where you can go inactive and not worry about being bashed (the whole option for auto-sending away fleets), but still get income. But I do think this should come with a penalty if you chosoe to use it - maybe just that your mining bonus is halved or so while you use the feature.

Just let people play the game casually if that's what they want, there's no need to implement an
additional punishment for inactivity, inactivity
is a punishment.
