Hi, i was thinging, i became level 100 yesterday and 101 today.
and today i tested to colonize a planet (it worked)
it would be really helpfull if a line like in the end if the planets tabs says something like
"You can have X planets" where it states "Showing 1 to 10 of X planets" so i can see how many i have and how many i could have, not easy trying to remember which levels gives me a new planet slot.

I completely agree. In the meantime, I've noticed the formula seems to be 1 + (rank / 4).

That i know, but it would be much simpler then having to break out the scientific calculator once per day to see if you can have a new planet or not

Hence the part where I said I completely agree with your suggestion.

For commanders allocating research to topics like Micro-singularities and Microwarp nacelles, dividing by 4 to see if you get a whole number should be child's play

Then we can remove the x/x research spent in a tech, also remove how much remaining.
Also, we can remove the how many exp left to level up when you hover the level.

ROFL.
