Second Earth

How often do you find so pleasant places at other stars so that you can build there a colony without any need for infrastructure? Is there a difference between random/real stars used?

"Perfectly" suitable planets are fairly common but still rare enough. Random stars can create strange systems that can contain 3 or more in the "perfect" zone while real stars are a bit more realistic in the sense those kinds of systems are extremely rare and systems with a colonizable body is usually alone with some barren worlds and/or gas giants.

Well, I got one at Alpha Centauri, just one jump away. That finally got me to design a colony ship.

All minerals except duranium and mercassium, all of them at 0.1 access except neutronium (0.7) and galicite (1!), and at 5-85 M quantities. :P
Sounds nearly too much delicious. I am suspecting a trap but can't get myself from walking into it.
