It's kind of pointless it's not abundant to my opinion.
What I'm really saying is that Stardock to my opinion doesn't seem to watch the comments right, like when someone who plays rare planets wants fewer planets; then the answer shouldn't be lower all the planet settings, but to lower the rare settings. If someone thinks that abundant has to many planets then the honest answer is play a lower setting. Make no mistake some of us like lots of planets.
While I'm at it I don't think anyone who hasn't played this game for six months should be complaining about the game being to hard. Since when do you play a game that you can beat without playing it for six months since most of us will play a game for at least six months if not years.
