It is not a war game.
Nothing in the game makes war a good idea, the mechanics of combat push a player to need 'clean' lands, the loss of ships is frowned upon and detrimental to success because of how value contributes to score and because of the obsession with balanced stats meaning that if your fleet size falls behind you are useless.
Also the time required to effectively wage a war on someone else is not something that can be sustained by the current player base.
Alliances need to avoid incs to survive and continue round on round and keep their members re-signing up. People no longer want to be dragged out of bed at 3am to type some numbers into their computer, phone, tablet etc so the best course of action is nap everyone you can and just pick off easy targets.
The game will now continue this way till when it's finally closed as its no longer a viable model for those still silly enough to play and complain about it.
If you don't like it then move on, nothing will come of your whining

Yes, it is a war game, the fact people don't want to play it as such is a different matter. Fundamentally, planetarion is a war game....even says so in the "what is planetarion" page
The rest of your blurb, am not sure if it is aimed at me or not, but if it is, you're wrong. I'm perfectly happy playing the game the way we are at the moment thank you! It's going how we want it to....
