Gas planets vs rock planets???

My preferance is for Rock planets for no other reason than Role-Playing aspects. I've got 2 empires that I play mainly. Both of them live on Rock worlds. No other reason.

I tend to choose Rock, since the early game is all about expansion, and having more spaceyards available is helpful. However I'm basing that on the assumption that there are more rock planets than ice planets - which may be wrong...

I think is right. In the new game I started yesterday my empire knows of 165 planets, of which 102 are rock.

There question of planet abundance has been raised many times before. It was very well documented there are fewer Ice planets than Rock.

That is all one link Ruatha... I think you need more [ url ] and [ /url ] tags in your post.

Nope, needed one less space.:
not "/ URL" but "/URL", don't know why the BBS made that.
