Just recently got the P.A beta, gotta say I'm LOVING it. But, one thing about the game bugs me... one of its visions is interplanetary war, correct? Well, then why isn't there an option that let's players choose their own starting planet instead of everyone starting on the same planet? It seems like it would be a simple implement, seeing as how orbital units and planet crashing is complete, and it would be interesting to see it happen. (this would be especially cool after the unit cannon and teleporter is released)
