     Schoon has hit the nail on the head.   nothing else matters,
the availability of resources and the desire to acquire them is 
what drives all the action.
     In Campaign98, a planet has only one value, how many resource
points it produces.   (This also limits the ability to garrison the 
planet.)
Planet types:
Small and medium hot.
Small and medium cold.
Gas giant and moons.
Habitable(medium).

One Resource point equals 10 FT build points and 1 mass
during shipment. (Shipment presumes a build facility does not 
exist at the planet/)

     To make any non-habitable planet produce, three resource points
(one time cost) must be put into the planet for each resource point
taken out.
     The object for us, is to produce space combat situations, but 
this could easily work for ground combat.
