Defenses should not be transferable.

& Mobile planet should be last level.

I forgot to add that none should produce fighters.
Since all but two of them do not make any metal.
Obviously you sell the resources then buy fighters.

It only makes more sense this way... plus it gives
greater value to the defenses, which keep in mind
do not give any points so you have to help it some.

The point is to balance things out to make all useful.

I personally think it might be better to improve the planets that aren't as useful rather than edit down those that already are. I also would point out, that with the ore already increased for the gas and the glacial, that makes them much more of a viable option for ptrading relatively early, which gives them a use, even if it is less helpful later in the game.

Also notice that the production of all things allow for a couple months without maxing out. Which most games are over by then.

The small changes thus far are not great enough to make any other attractive besides the same Ocean & Mountain, then to a lesser extent Earth and much lesser Volcanic.
Obviously now the Desert, Glacial and Gaseous are worthless in favor of the better choices.

As you can see this cleans things up. Since there is no reason to have the production option available if it takes like 20+ colonists, you would obviously use those elsewhere.

Defense gives zero points. Plus cannot be used to attack. So they are not as valuable as a fighter.
Fuel Ore gives zero points. Usually people run scouts into cannons, therefore wasting it. So it is not as valuable as a fighter.

So you have to offset by allowing much more of those to balance out the resources that can be sold for the credits to purchase fights that do give points.
And since fighters do give points, you should at least have to use turns to go buy them.

Some will still use the same planets due to points given. But, in a money run a Gas or Ice could hold credits.

This is simple as data entry, so it is an easier improvement than coding.

The level upgrades are not too bad, so no need to bother with those until later maybe.
Except mobile planets basically end the game, so it should be the last level. Plus having to get the generator will encourage players to actually make use of that.

I personally think it might be better to improve the planets that aren't as useful rather than edit down those that already are. I also would point out, that with the ore already increased for the gas and the glacial, that makes them much more of a viable option for ptrading relatively early, which gives them a use, even if it is less helpful later in the game.

Doing the math, you can see the production amount of resources to sell for credits to then buy fighters with amounts to roughly the same as the current.
Only difference is that you don't double up on it buy getting the "free fighter" plus the resources to sell to go buy another fighter. Which this is what blows away the other planets worth which make a lousy defense or fuel ore.

For examples;

Mountain fuel ore current: 10,000 / 2 = 5000
Mountain fuel ore improve: 10,000 / 2 = 5000

Earth organics current: 14,000 pop / 7 = 2000
Earth organics improve: 10,000 pop / 5 = 2000

Earth equipment current: 13,000 / 13 = 1000
Earth equipment improve: 10,000 / 12 = 833
(This should be swapped with the Mountain's 10 to make this the same, then have Mountain equipment 12)
Earth equipment improve: 10,000 / 10 = 1000
