An interesting thing to have is a regular Census
This could have:
Number of Players
Number of Races (people can have more than one race)
Number of turns processed last turn (shows how active people are)
Number of cybertraded planets
Highest Passive Income
Total number of Planets in Galaxy
Total population of Galaxy (Pops times however much a Pop is worth)
Biggest firepower fleet
Fleet with most fighters
Etc, etc
Randy or whoever could provide this on a monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis.
