It makes for a very different game in terms of fleet planning which will also influence some of your strategy. I am sure some people don't/wouldn't like it, I found it pretty interesting and would play it again but would change it toe a PLS + 50 e.g. not have minimum 50 and than increase once your reach 50 planets but have 50 plus planets count to utilize the ship limit of 999 more I don't think the game ever went above 500 ships and I did feel limited by the PLS limit at times.
