Just colonized this one, and it has to be one of the most baren planets in the quadrent. Don't know how the colony ship didn't see the vast amount of nothing from space. i.imgur.com/WAQ2c0H.jpg |

That's hysterically bad!! |

I think I read somewhere on the board if a planet gets too unhappy it will go indie. Did anybody else read that?
I've colonized a planet that is worthless and a constant drain on the treasury.
If the treasury is too low you have to delay building on your best planets. Why throw good money after bad?
I'm thinking about leaving it on it's own and spending the money where it counts on productive planets.
The only use I can see about colonizing a barren rock is it creates a strategic green zone for repair/refuel.
At this point I don't know if an indie planet provides a friendly green zone after it turns. Has anyone seen a planet go indie?
Any thoughts?

11 quality isn't too bad, will be hard until you have the lvl2 upgrades for the basic essentials, don't worry about mines there, make it a spice den colony to boost research

@choco I've noticed that. Even on normal the Xenos expand really quick.

Ever encountered a xeno in Star Traders? Yep, you should know that they are nasty. I think we will turn fog back on, because its too scary without it.

@choco I've noticed that. Even on normal the Xenos expand really quick. They expand faster but the colony defenses and so on are lower rate. They also modulate aggression differently on the lower difficulty levels. Rate of expansion is an item we're working on balancing. |

About that, I guess they already saw me and are coming in for the kill.  |

To the OP, not knowing what your getting on planet quality/mines available is a big frustration.

To the OP, not knowing what your getting on planet quality/mines available is a big frustration. It's a dice roll. Why do you find that frustrating? Aside from eliminating random chance from the game, is there something that would help? That game gives you the minimum and maximums which is enough to select my worlds. The biggest maps still need more work in the map design, to remove the large number of 2-20 worlds. |

I did notice that most of the different suns had different ranges this time around, which is nice. Last updates it was still to random, all of them were 2-20, but I've ran into some that have 6-18 and such in this one. |
