Just to make sure nobody that wanted to see this would miss it.

Thanx. I did miss it actually.

Nothing really unexpected except

Spoiler:

Booby-trapped planets

[RolandtheMad]

Yeah.. I think they could have had some more and more varied specials. Too many hostile specials methinks.

Also, how did you make that spoiler blank out thingy?

Like this I think:

[spoiler] Text[ /spoiler]. but no space on the end tag.

All I did was hit reply with quote on his post and it showed the spoiler tags.

ACK!

Spoiler:

Sound scary

You settle, rush-build your first Installations and suddenly it goes boom

[Urban Ranger]

Hostile minerals?

"In related news, a local miner was ganged up on by several iron nuggets."

[RolandtheMad]

I was thinking hostile minerals might have been something that is just bad for industry like really low quality iron ore or maybe even something that is hostile to your species itself (kryptonite?)

I, too, am a bit amazed with the sheer number of negative bonii... Seems finding a planet w/out some serious drawback or other will now have to be counted as a bonus all by itself. I'm not sure I like that at all.

I hope, they use an algorithm which balances the good and bad specials you encounter.

But anyhow, the sheer number of Specials lets every Planet become a true individual.

Not such as in MOO2, where you would settle your fifth large, abundant, barren Planet which woudn´t differ from the other four Planets already settled, except for the fact, that it was in another Solar System.

Which, with the proper terraforming became, large abundant and Gaia.

ACK!

Yup. Unless you have a dead planet, you'll always get volcanos. Silly designers.

I don't see that as a problem. This is the Tyranny of Statistics.

[Straybow]

Right. The more you look at the aggregate properties of large areas the more alike they seem. So what if England is rainier and France produces more wine-quality grapes? On a regional scale they'd just produce generic "food."

Do you think a game like this would distinguish between wheat and barley? Emmet or millet? Yams and sweet potatoes? Nope. If you happen to live in a place where one grows and the others don't the difference is important. In a game of sufficiently small scale you could make those things trade value factors, but not on this scale.
