Re: Gas planets vs rock planets???
GAS versus ROCK ???
Fuel For thought. 
If you start with GAS you have less Planets True, but what you have; is big. How many moons add up to a Huge Gas.
A game with Neutrals, you can always trade techs for their Rock or Ice and you will gain; because they can not leave the System to haunt you.
In NO WARP games, Rock is still the best bet 
FQM: Rock may be best.

Re: Gas planets vs rock planets???
They're all good. Lots of good explanations here why.
Gas giants give you bigger planets which is better for defense (more room, fewer to defend), but lots of little planets mean more maintenance-free shipyards (one per planet).

Re: Gas planets vs rock planets???
i personally prefer ice planets. one reason is role-play, another is i just like the idea of ice planets.
i have to say though, ive been playing with ice-methane race (THE rarest combo) and then i went for rock/methane... heh, that was a huge difference
they're all good. each have their pros and cons, just like anything in SE
thats why we play this game eh?

Re: Gas planets vs rock planets???
Yes. I have to admit that for all my earlier reasons for ice/none roleplay is probably the biggest. My favorite race is the Alteri/Eltyri/Altyri/etc... and no matter what else I experiment with them they are always ice/none. It's just part of their evolution and the fundamental concept.
Maybe someday I will make an AI for them and see if anyone wants to make a shipset for them. Could be fun.

Re: Gas planets vs rock planets???
