At their present status, I think they are, considering how much you put in and how much you get out of it. Name it "Steal me" (for those poor greedy souls) or abandon it.

Like I said elsewhere - it seems that currrently, each type of planet is massively underpowered.
The bonus that you get from a planet should be almost (but not quite) the same as you would get by spending the equivalent amount of naq in the normal way.

+ 1,870,080 Daily Income from my income planet that is a whopping 18 million per day for 10 planets 389,600 per turn equivalent to 4870 Miners
ie 1 planet is worth exactly 487 Miners at current market rates not exactly a prize worth having!

I see what you are saying - but when some players already earn well in excess of 1 billion per turn - is another 600 million per day worth it?
And 10 planets = 10 times the investment - very expensive!
From what I have read - it seems that the planets are only worth investing in if your stats are already at a level above which it is cheaper to increase them via the planet bonuses - and that would appear to be very high in most cases - making the planets nothing but playthings of the rich.

Upgrading this thing cost 9 Million for a bonus per day which is worth 30,000 per day. Economically unviable better off putting money in standard UP. in fact I have a UP planet therefore better to use it on this one!

Until the return on owning planets nears that of investing your naq elsewhere planets are just a toy. Personally I will not even send out my ship to look for one since I consider them such a joke.
However they are good for giving an excuse to mass someone.

There is a use for income planets they will become MS destroyers.
I think this is the perfect solution for those cruising around in their impressive MS. The flat way you can increase planetary defence means that you could with a little effort match and exceed the MS capability and give someone a nasty little suprise
I am working on mimimum defences of 3 Billion on just a couple of my planets, anyone fancy Russian Roulette!

nope .. coz the naq u spend on that you can just UU and put them as miners and get the same result .. if not more and atleast your miners cant be stolen by overpowered fleets.
