So who knows about the moons?

Not always, dunno if u can manually set it but i assume its random as standard. Potentially that though

Why are we still talking? Seperate moon colonies are out, have been out officialy for a long time. There's no question about that, there was no question when this topic was first started. Move along.

I don' t know what "official" reason(s) led to moons no longer separate for colonization, but having played games on Huge galaxy sizes, I can tell you that it is a very good thing. Even macro-managing on the order of 3-5x as many colonies would make my brain hurt.

Yes, it was originally called for; it was even specified how ground-to-space weaponry would work if the planet and moon belonged to empires at war with each other. But I think this is a change for the better, "on the whole".

I'd have been upset if the size and mineral value of the moons wasn't accounted for, but it IS.
