Must have been it, I stumbled across a rich Ice planet for the firs time this afternoon. I'm still not seeing a lot of smaller planets when I play the regular maps, but I can create them in custom maps. I think it's play style too. I'm used to snatching up everything. After reading some of the older threads, I see that getting used to different colonization strategies needs to be in order. Perhaps a pregame loading graphic could have a tip like "Not all planets are worth bringing into your empire. Choose your settlements carefully/strategically." I like them so far. I was looking at the "New Class Modernization Program" articles on wookieepedia the other night and I'm excited to see what happens in the future.

Just downloaded the game yesterday, been enjoying it so far but a few things do stand out. Am I right that all planes seem to default a huge? I always have 8-10 places to mine or 0 (which sucks when your starting planet has no resources). But I always seem to be starved for crystal. IS there a way to change this to make planets a little more normal, or to get planets that have crystal in like some have metal (8+ metal on some planets). Also, the prices seem a bit high in general. Is this an attempt to slow down the game or am I not remembering the older version correctly? I do use the market to try to make up for this, but ratios are just so overwhelming it seems more like a burden. I like the new factions so far, only played as the New Republic because I wanted to see how many of the New Design ships made it into the game. But I've been getting my butt handed to me by the Vong so I'll have to give that a try next.

Been getting mini dump errors when trying to load the mod after downloading this update. Everything was working fine before. Full redownload is the only option I have not tried yet.

checking in. Everything is up and running.

I would like to join the beta testing. Seeing the additional factions sounds very cool and I've enjoyed the game so far.
