Quadrant Types vs Starting Planet Type

[Comar]

Yeah, with the ancient systems, planets of all types are few and far between. You pays your dues and takes your chances. I still prefer the gas giants overall, though. There may be plenty of tiny and small rock and ice planets, but it takes a lot of them to make one gas giant, plus all the colony ships you have to build. I don't know that there is a perfect answer, just that it works for me.
