Title: 4 stars and 3 planets :(
Post by: Sagal on July 15, 2014, 06:11:00 AM
1 jump from Sol is this little system.    Only 3 planets so it kinda sucks though and with low minerals.    (attachment too if the pic doesn't load)


EDIT
It seems I can't post links and stuff, oh well the attachment is there though!

Wow, that is impressive. Best I ever saw in any kind of sci-fi game was a triple star system. I hope I find Manchester too someday.

The Sorium there is surely in a gas giant and as such not totally worthless as you could use it for fuel harvesters - the best fuel production method in the game. You could find better, but then again maybe not 1 jump from Sol, and it will definitely suffice for the first 100 years or so.
Should you manage to play to around 150-200 years in, then the Gallicite may become very valuable too, as it is by far the rarest resource later on, so even single deposits might be worth it if you never find better.(actually happened to me in my last game) Multi-Millions at 0.4 is pretty good at that point. But only if you really start to need it.

I think Saturn has like 13m Sorium at 0. 8 or something so no worries there for a while :) Found pretty nice amounts of everything in the Sol system except for Corbonite (couple thousands only).  There's going some massive wars atm though, at least it takes a while to do anything :P and I've already lost 4 survey ships to precursors but soon they will feel the wrath of my light carrier group!

Well it is system with 3 brown dwarfs, so it is not that surprising that there are only 3 planets. Are you playing with real stars on?

Of course not! Well this is going to be interesting, normal transit and hostile aliens in front of me. . .  My poor CVLs

Very nice indeed.  like the shape and the decoration.  I am still playing with the iridescent paints there is always something new to what you can do with them
