Actually Terran that's not really correct. There are a few less Ice planets in the sector types file, so on average there will be a few less ice planets per quadrant. But the overall difference is slight. But for individual systems there are always variances, and so you have a decent chance of ending up in or close to a system with multiple ice worlds.

Also, this isn't really a factor yet in this game, but the dearth of players that typically choose Ice races for whatever reason can actually be an advantage since there is less competition for suitable planets, and the Ice tech is more highly valued as trade bait.

If you saw my home system, you'd be cursing Ice colonization tech Geo.

If you could se my home system Geoshmo, then you would probably turn satanist.

Terran...just think of those as a trump card for later.

I have played games where once empire boundries are set and new colony techs open up, the advantage of them isn't great.

I am, actually, I even mentioned it in my story.

Yes, I saw that. I've been pondering if I will be forced to write a bankrupt post...eeewwwwww.

To Jmenschenfresser,

It just happened to me that should any race just run into your tribes, could it be that you write us a small description of the 5 tribes, or just their name and leaders ?
