Okay, so far the discussions in the politician threads have been focusing on the city level. Time now to get a little farther in the future...the Space Expansion.
I expect SE will make travels between planets easier for those who own ships. Mainly, some planets will likely not require multiple shuttle hops to get to. ( At least I hope so). The game dynamics will change.
I'm willing to start this thread to gather ideas on how a team of politicians could have influence on planetary data, meaning, how they could affect a planet as a whole.
First idea that come to mind is factional mayors vying for an increased factional NPC presence, for exemple. On my server, Naboo for exemple is practically run by imp cities, so I'd expect stormtroopers everywhere, so to speak.
Second idea being, of course, as originally planned, player cities starports for Metropolises.
I don't have any detailed grand scheme for this, I just want the discussion to start.

Don't expect to much in this direction ... A Space Extention that would only result in faster travel between planets (if you miss the shuttle that is) wouldn't really be worth that much development time ... I rather expect to see whole new "worlds" between planets ... esentially making travel time even longer ... but more fun or challanging 
None the less .. back to your topic. There already was a suggestion of a planetary senate where the mayors each get one vote to decide on certain subjects set by the develepors to change the modifiers on planets.
10% more faction points gain for a certain faction ... 10% more XP for the other
more spawns of low creature level or more spawns of high creature level
... Don't remember all the options and can't find a link to the post anymore 
I'd really like such an option ... adding to it that every city gets additional council members or diplomats according to rank to have more votes in addition to giving these politician-but-non-mayors something to do
