Last I checked you snapped up 2-3 galaxies that had multiple planets... I'm almost done scouting the entire quadrant. Using 3 drones.

Q. It seems you know the map well enough that you discovered the best galaxies in our quadrant. Mind letting me know how you scoured the map so quickly and made so many colonies so quickly?

p.s. I'm a scientist too.

Hmm I think you got it wrong. On Ningal server I only have stuff in one galaxy. I think I have 2 outposts do far. Well one of the fixes that really did limit a land rush was the fix on unit count -- you can't go into negatives anymore. I think after they hide other players planets, it will be very hard to land rush and will add the stability that many players are looking for.

Also on this server it looks like I've been purposely located at disadvantage, because the closest planets to my home base are 10+ sectors away 0.o


Going back to scouting. I'm using 5 drones because the galaxy is 25x25 so you could just go in circles with the 5 set and have a minim time loss. Also i tried doing it with more than 5 drones and it's becoming rather difficult to manage.

Well hope they will fix the servers soon.

PS: Lee stop tripping over the server power cable! And Zark, server is not a lunch table dude!

My fault, I forgot to set the watchdog. When you join a new game, the server picks a home world that is (on average) the farthest away from any other homeworld.

Are you saying that home world locations are messed up on this server because some flag wasn't set?

I've already given up on Ninsurhag. My home world spawned in one of the absolute corners of the universe, which I thought would be cool, but there are no other systems within 10 sectors, and the first ones I've found are already claimed by players with home systems right near them. I'm not a trader, so there is almost no point in continuing.

No. The homeworld squares are picked at random around the universe before any planets are spawned. There are some restrictions on location, like an HW can't be placed in an empty space square, or a black hole, etc. Their locations remain fixed throughout the game. When a player joins a game the free HW sector list is scanned and the sector which has the highest avg distance from all other players is selected and assigned to the joining player. Players were irked in beta when they occasionally started right next to somebody, so we tried to space people out more. It is still possible to get a starting position that is terrible. It is also possible to get a starter system that has 5 Terrans, although it is pretty rare.
