athonian Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 how many peeps actually started on a terrestrial? and how often do you guys find them? i have 2 in my homesystem one is my h-world and the other is just kinda there. and if it's a hot terrestrial does that mean it's more difficult than a regualr terrestrial?

Depends on how you spent those start-up points. If you took high temp resistance than it'll be no problem. Haven't explored that much yet, so wouldn't know how common they are.

Kurassier Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I started on a terrestrial. There are quite a few of them in my sector of space. I've found that many of the moons are more colonizable for me than the terrestrials are. But that is probably just me. It really depends a lot on your own HW's stats.

Gary Carpenter Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 You will have to do a CSV, to determine if you want to colonize. Keep all the data handy as later as you pick up new installations you may go back and change your mind. For example Domed cities cancel out Atmosphere problems. So if on the CSV, atm was the only reason you did not colonize, then now you can. Also do GEO, because if there is nothing good there to mine, then the colony is not worth the effort. Atmosphere is the easiest problem to fix, so do not just check out planets with the same atmophere. you also need to do PMAP, to see if there are people there, and find out important things like temperature.

Kahless Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Remember -- DO NOT DO anything that will let you find some goodies with your startup pathfinders. They do not have any cargo space so if you find it, you lose it ! Build your own explore ships when you can, with cargo space.

Lord SaHeru Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Athonian - With the right tech you can buy them later. Of course Species Engineering is expensive to get to but thus far it seem the only way to alter your race after the fact.

athonian Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 yeah... very... itll take many turns to even get 375... =P *goes crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostworlds Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Remember do not do an orb order unless you find a neutral using the PMAP or you have done some expl orders and want to see how much exploration has been done. Do not do a orb early in the game unless you find a neutral.

athonian Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 crap. *hangs head* i madea booboo. will i find items by using orb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athonian Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 but doesn't an orb tell you how rich future explorations will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ur Lord Tedric Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Nope... An ORB tells you the finds you have made (by installation, mostly) and an indication about how much you have explored at that planet...
