It's not pleasing on the eye and it's not user friendly(much like the old corrolla), but once you figure it all out then you discover the potential within(much like the corrolla).
Thats my views on how you can bump the playerbase. Make it more usefriendly and more pleasing on the eye. When thats done then it might even be worth advertising.
One of the things i remember fondly from when i started were the old techtree, with the routes and possibilities outlined with cool graphics showing you what you could potentially gain by continuing playing and researching new stuff. The game stopped renewing itself, and got stripped down to a technical spreadsheet game for nerds.

Completely agree. I also miss the politcial in fighting within galaxies for GC with the mining bonus that came with it as well as the Minister positions, but maybe that's asking to much?
