Opening. Seems like a description overhaul would be needed here.

To kick things off, here's my revised version at Sandbox.Planet Looters. Turned the paragraphs into bullet points where I folded complainy parts of the original second paragraph into a footnote and cut most of the third paragraph. Feel free to adjust.

I approve of the description swap.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
Sandbox does seem better than what's currently on the page.
How sweet it is

Anyone else for the rewrite? If not, tell us what's better in current.

That's five votes for the sandbox and no objections.
Fine with the sandbox.

Sandbox is fine.

Okay, that's good enough; let's swap it in.
Update: Done. Sandbox is now cutlisted, so thread is finished. Closing.

Ok, so I'm reading the main description of Planet Looters and... what I find there is not necessarily a summary of the trope but rather paragraphs of complainy material describing contradictory info and criticisms of the trope, like "Why are aliens not targeting uninhabited planets for resources?" and the like. I don't know about you, but this is something I would usually see in a Fridge page under Fridge Logic. I think the trope description needs to be rewritten to describe the trope more properly without any of that unnecessary info getting in the way.
