Fortunately for the US, and unfortunately for Africa, Planetarion is not the real world.

I don't see why part time players (or XP whores) should be especially protected.

Part time players make up the huge majority of planets in the universe. Efforts to make the game more difficult for these players to have fun and do well will lead to a swifter death for Planetarion.
Further, you personally might not have been able to attack them back. You've only got three fleets anyway -
- but still, surely there was *someone* in your alliance that could target planets that were roughly 1/4 of your size. If not, try galaxy mates, and their alliances. Or other friendship networks that exist. Get people in #transcendency to covert op their hides, or JPG them and see if they have incs already: if they've defence then attack their defenders where you can. And so on. There are plenty of options for you to persue, there are plenty of ways you can get back at them either directly or indirectly.
Alternatively, you could team up with three of your makes and attack someone who is 10 times bigger than you, get all his roids and enjoy the XP boost to your score - assuming you've got the guts to run the risk of his defence and/or his alliance's retals.
It works both ways mate, and you arent helpless. Essentially all you want is an easy option to bash lowbies who are getting their act together and attacking you. How dare the lowbies challenge your supremacy!!?! Humpf!!
