2) Not relevant! As we always start with a clean sheet at the start of the round and you don't take over a planet.
3) Good point too! But I think i covered this in the section where I talked about 'landing war landings'. Taking the hit for the benefit of your alliance.
The very first point is the best point though and is something a lot of alliances fail at. For instance, I heard some alliances, even when fighting an 'enemy', sometimes take nights of in hitting them to go for 'easy roids'. Which is I think silly!

Alternative calculation
In some cases the Return on Investment (ROI) may be calculated using the following formula:
Return on Investment =
Net Income + Interest(1 - Tax Rate)

Book Value of Assets
Net Income is increased by interest after taxes. This measure is more accurate because companies can have a lot of cash that earns interest.
