As many people know I'm against planet donating which seems to go on quite a bit... does mean people can have super dooper planets without having to put all the work into it. I'm not accusing anyone.. just gonna offer a suggestion...
How about...

A.  Abandoned planets cannot be reconquered for a minimum of 96 hours unless its by the original owner that still has/had a counter against the attacker.. this is to allow genuine defeated players to recapture their planet but prevent 'friendy' take overs.
 
B.  To stop planets with zero colonists being captured, have a minimum population that can be attacked using the conquer option. This should be based on the potential new owners power.. say colonist numbers must be a minimum of 50% of the players total power... This means they have to genuinely fight to get a planet.  (this figure is just a suggestive percentage.. please feel free to debate further).. Raids are not effected.

C.  OR.... Have a limit on what a player can own based on his commander level... a level 1 planet up to ocean can be owned by any player. Gaia must be a minimum of level 30.  each increase in level must be met by an increase in the commander level  say by a factor of 10 per planet level.  SO a gaia lvl 10 could only be owned by a level 130.  This would stop people who havent done much, obtaining prebuilt high level planets.

These are just off top of my head suggestions and are not thoroughly thought through ( L:)beat that for use of silent letters!!!)  to see how they work in game.

Meh, or just make planets less effective. So many of us have better ways now.

In my opinion planets are just there to burn turns for players who can't use them. If I can use those turns then I won't even use a planet

i like it, seems reasonable will stop peoples ability to feed other players.

i think your suggestion for limiting the amount of research done untill they get a certain commander lvl has merit but somepeople dont have the time to play everyday and grind so they mite not have the required commander lvls and those players find other ways to stay in the game eg. big planet research

Kyle is a prime example of why this should be restricted :P

Actually Kyle was a good example of what happens when people DO donate planets.. it bites them in the backside afterwards!!!

I hate you.

yea im a good example. no way would i have been able to get 3rd (i know i finished 7th but in money terms i was 3rd) without that planet probs would have only been able to get 5th-7th and had about 10% of what i did have.

ya it was bs

your just sad cause i didnt kill fury enough for you to pass him
