This might be one bold move for the ones making this game
The battle system is lame cuz of the lack of control by the players and that is discouraging in the way that in the end the strategy of battle is taken away all you can change is the target of the fleets but its almost the worthless to use it becouse its almost the same thing wich is attacked all the time.
The tech tree is large wich might and bad at the same time to make a research u need Sience Points (SP) wich is the hardest thing to get in the game because the output is the lowest in responce with other resources wich can make 100k in an hour without problem with just 1 planet but the SP u need at least 5 planets to reach 50k wich would mean a lower resource output for making actual use of the technologies you research after all the research is mainly for ship designing.
The ship designs change from players to players so the results may always change but u need to think a lot on how you are going to use the module slots in each ship hull that are 3 of them: Assault Crafts, Cruisers and Battle Ships. Usually the players focus in one tipe of hull but the difference between each class is very small but even so it may actually change the result of battle.
