ok we implement the ship ownership do not have nothing with change of ownership of the planets... maybe will be good if these ships become rouge and then everything can happen :)

Another question - what is better - when the player (or AI) conquer the planets fleets inflight to become ownership for the winning side or to stay from original side?

Haha, maybe you can check the game and give some suggestions :)

I have issues with the PvP - multiplayer- the game is simple but i am  stuggling - any help is welcome:
