Re: Are gas giants really an advantage?
The rock riders have got a sometimes decisive advantage: RUINS, RUINS , RUINS !
Try the following: start a test game with omnipresent view of all systems, or setup a race with ancient race trait. Then count the SPECIAL planets for Gas, Ice and Rock, you will find about double as many ruins on Rocks than on Gas or Ice.
Oftentimes you will find another Colonization Tech in one of the ruins, and if you find them early in the game, you will rule it.
But it is a matter of taste, as everything in SE4.
