Fyron, where are you getting this? I am not aware of this, if you wouldn't mind giving some explanation.

Which is really a damned shame, because I like the COLOR of MEthane worlds. Nice, deep purple and purply-red and purply-blue planets ...

*sigh*

May be Fyron is talking about his Quadrant mod ?

In standard SEIV all atmospheres, exept None, are equal.

Methane is my favorite too. I do not like some CO2 planets - dull and dirty yellowish.

I'm curious, in PBW what atmosphere/planet types seem to be the most favorite?

Being a contrarian, and picking the least favorite atmosphere/planet type (except maybe ice, which seems to be a disadvantage however you slice it), might be a nice advantage in the early game.

It's possible that everyone else could trade colonization techs and population. Even with only one tech and one race trade, your benefit would dissolve

In FQM, all of the planets are set to random atmosphere.

Someone did an analysis of the appearance of planet types and atmospheres in the standard game a while back.

Having a rare tech and population means that yours are more valuable.

You don't have to worry too much about the other player reselling your tech, since he isn't going to give it away for free. There is only one other colonization tech that he could get in exchange for it anyways.
