Donation

Donations are done in several ways always there to benefit a player in a specific way. The most common way is by farming. People attack another planet which is indirectly under their control. The specific planet under attack will make sure there is no defense so the attacker can easily gain the maximum roid cap on his target. Often people regard this as an unfair practice though others see this as another way of gaining easy roids.
A second way of donating is farming ships. Certain ship types are capable of stealing ships like thieves. Those ships take over ships from a different of their own race. The purpose of this is that the attacker is capable of gaining of different races their best ships to gather a strong versatile fleet. A third way of donating is donating resources within the gallaxy to certain person(s). By doing this they can obviously grow faster, which is especially in the start a very importent factor to be a top player. Though in the beginning of planetarion it was easy as there were no maximum donating options yet in later stage they included a MOD who decides who gets money and also this was later on again on the line due it was not possible to donate someone bigger then avarage score within the gallaxy. Also a maximum resource stack was included which made for in the end of the game it more difficult to save a lot of resources for a last boom. This is being done so people still who are actually very big can stay small so they can keep on attacking smaller targets. That can be essential because in later stage targets get fewer so its good to be capable of attacking everything avaible. Though donating resources is also often discussed as an unfair practice though the people who do this aswell gallaxys may say that they want one person to be big and help them.
