there is one rock planet at the finish line right now. my reasoning was that while ice and gas dwellers would have to spend points researching that colonization type (or stealing colonizers to analyze) that they would be able to colonize planets with less compitetion and so it would ballance out.

if you dont think that that sounds ballanced, its pretty easy to add two more planets at the end.

there are a few black holes that must be crossed at the end of the race, and the finish line is in a nebula system. That means that you cant win without max levels in some kind of sensors, and you will either need quantum reactors or a large fleet of repair resupply ships. even a colonizer with a solar cell would get wiped out on the Last leg of the race.
