	[~~https://www~~.~~reddit~~.~~com/r/MMORPG/comments/1dqodoo/im_raph_koster_creator_of_ultima_online_and_star/ Reddit /r/MMORPG AMA with Raph Koster]~~		In ''[[Stars Reach]]'', players can take on leadership roles—from mayor of a town to governor of an entire world, or even the head of various [[Guilds]]. A robust ''Leadership Skill Tree'' supports these roles, providing experience and progression to those who guide communities. Whether you choose to cultivate a thriving safe haven or enable a pirate-infested den of villainy, governing a planet is as much about maintaining stability as it is about shaping its destiny.

	~~Question: How do~~ you ~~plan~~ to ~~deal with trolls/griefers~~ and players ~~who just wanna ruin~~ the ~~game experience? Sandbox is nice~~, but ~~some people just enjoy ruining other people joy~~.		== Planetary Ownership & Laws ==
			When you have the power to govern, you can:
			* '''Enable or Disable PvP:''' Designate your planet as a warzone or a peaceful refuge.
			* '''Set Taxes & Policies:''' Adjust local tariffs on resource extraction or goods trading, potentially influencing population and economic growth.
			* '''Regulate Terraforming & Building:''' Limit how much visiting players can alter the environment—preventing trolls from digging massive craters or blocking important routes.
			* '''Manage Resource Exploitation:''' Exploit your planet’s resources for personal profit, but beware of potential ecological backlash (including the wrath of the mysterious Servitors).

	~~I'm not taking about stealing~~, ~~killing and~~ such, ~~which is kinda expected in a normal PvP gameplay~~, I'~~m talking about creating a huge create~~/~~hole so others players can pass, block houses with terraformation~~, ~~and so on~~.		== Leadership Progression ==
			Governing yields experience within the leadership skill tree. This progression can unlock advanced administrative or diplomatic abilities, such as:
			* '''Delegation Permissions:''' Assign specific ranks or roles to trusted players who help enforce laws.
			* '''Planetary Upgrades:''' Invest in infrastructure that boosts trade, security, or environmental balance.
			* '''Griefer/Troll Control:''' Tailor visitor permissions, blocking destructive terraforming or other harmful activities.

	~~Answer~~: ~~This is where players governing planets really matters~~. The ~~government~~ of ~~a planet~~ can ~~set what sorts~~ of ~~abilities people who live there, and people who visit, have on a given world~~.		== Dealing with Trolls and Griefers ==
			Player governance is central to controlling malicious behavior in a sandbox environment.<ref name="AMA">[https://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comments/1dqodoo/im_raph_koster_creator_of_ultima_online_and_star/ Reddit /r/MMORPG AMA with Raph Koster]</ref> By setting the laws of your world, you determine:
			* The level of freedom visitors have to reshape terrain.
			* Whether they can attack others without consequence (on PvP planets).
			* The severity of penalties for criminal or destructive acts.

	=References=		If a planet’s leadership neglects its duties or deliberately encourages chaos, the resulting grief can drive away potential settlers—or attract like-minded miscreants. Successful governors often strike a balance between freedom and security, fostering an environment where players want to live, trade, and explore.
