Idk, getting babs off of 100% planets sounds like a pretty good one to me, unless the colo still acted like it has babs.Should be the point. When you enact Scorched Earth Policy, if anything remains, you don't want it to be useful. Or at the very least be a major pain in the rear to make useful again.
But the point also stands, theres not nearly enough wars in SS, let alone specific over about gaining valuable territory. Most of the time, when a war happens, it happens because of someone being an egotistic twat, like Sharky. Or it happens when someone doesn't like someone else for whatever reason, also like Sharky.
But rarely is it over actual territory. Of my 7 years of playing, I have only come across five wars/conflicts that truly had to do with territory. I have, on the other hand, been in or come across around 30 total wars.
Those five were:
1. Zephyr vs Hiigarans.
Higaran Leader's galaxy was one of the few galaxies that had 3-4 exe base slots. That time, they didn't have an eniac omega, so in order to prevent a massive war where all would have been capped, they sold their galaxies for a paltry 10b.
2. Quantum Reach vs Axis Incorporated.
Minor border conflict at start of universe. Numbers were about the same, but QR would have had to fight a war against a very determined enemy in their home galaxies. QR backed off. I still have that Targeting Computer OL, Blue Dwarf!
3. Zephyr vs Zero Gravity.
Ada planet. Enough said.
4. Pitch Black vs Resident Evil.
PB got jammed between Pants and RE. They decided to attack RE to gain space until SBP mowed them down twice.
5. Progress vs Psionic Corps.
Theres a whole damn topic on it....
Those are it. Theres a few that seem to revolve around territory, but it's actually someone did something someone else didn't like.
