Now, I kinda lost interest in the game. Seems impossible to do well unless you use kinda sneaky tactics or join a big alliance...

What do you mean ? ... I have gotten ranked as high as 294 ( fluctuates a bit day to day up to 364 ) and if a few battles had gone my way ( experience gained and next beta will be different ) I would be much higher ranked by now ... I think a wise use of race attributes, strategic acquisition of planets, a good NAP alliance and a bit of luck is what you need ... remember that some of these guys/gals have been playing since beta 1 so know what to build and when ! ... I dont think a formal alliance is necessary or desired but a good group in a NAP is key.

There will always be those willing to circumvent the system but the admins remove those that are caught ... enjoy the beta and use it as a learning experience for the next one
