Starting Planet Type question.
Hi all,
I'm still chugging through the game and making my own heavily modified dataset...enjoying this game very much!
Ok, another question for the masses: What advantages do 'Rock' or 'Ice' have over 'Gas Giant'? It seems that nearly every Gas Giant planet found is Large or Huge. Not so for the other two. And Gas Giants dont seem especially rare either.
Sooo, it seems that starting on a Gas Giant is the way to go. It gives you a massive jumpstart in the early game if when you can put 20+ facilities on nearly every world you can breathe on.
True the Rock and Ice have the moons, but this is small beans and requires far more up-front cost to realize a benefit.
Anyone find a good reason to be on Rock or Ice compared to Gas?
Side note...Most of the current AI races are Rock or Ice, so that just means even more competition for your planet type.
Thanx,
Talenn
