I don't think it matters what the atmos is...the converter converts it to what you need to take the dome off. I've done it before but I don't remember what the other atmospheres were...but I converted them to NONE, what my atmos was at the time.

Gas giants can't be converted to none.

EDIT: just tested. No conVersion from when it was built (2401.1) to when the colony died of a random plague event (2414.5)

So you're saying only planets that CAN have an atmosphere of NONE can be converted to NONE?

I can't remember what I converted but it was in a fulltech game and I just converted a bunch of huges...didn't pay attention to what type they were.

Yes, that's what he's saying, and he is correct. Size makes no difference. Any roxck or ice planet of any size can be converted to none, but no Gas giant regardless of size can be converted to none.

Someone wants an 1vs1 rated game?

I have not special preferences for the game settings (well, think would not like to play a game with limited resources or full tech), then, feel free to suggest what you want.

During this month, I'll be some days out (10 days more or less), but after it, can play without problems.

[edit] Taikon. He is the one who asked.

Yep, I remembered his post and for this wanted to say that would prefer to don't play with this setting...

Best I can think of is for you and me to team up against 2 other people and let's see. With you as my partner...remember I said I'd play with you in any game...I shall finally find out the truth!

So, invite Geo and a friend of his choice and let's see once and for all

I believe we will have more luck on this thread to find out potential players Slynky rather than on the hijacked New Year thread.

So we are on the lookout for two players to play a team game, and the other team will be made of Slynky and myself. (Slynky being the Dangerous One that is) So, if you are willing to stand up and join this challenge, please answer.

(I know I should definitively not play yet another game, but ... well, it was Slynky's initiative, and I have always wanted to play a game with him, and... Erh...)

Game: Full Tech Ahead

Geo beat the pants off me! For someone who was unsure about a high tech game he sure figured it out real quick!

Hehe. I think that I was very lucky. If I hadn't found your home system when i did, and had my small fleet there ready to pounce I expect your numerous space yards would have started popping out more then a few warhsips in a very few turns.

All in all a different game. I expected things to happen faster, but high tech with only one starting planet makes developing the economy harder then I expected. Like you I was building more then I could afford quite often.
