'eh? you wanna find the ancient ruins? well, you'll need this map. and don't forget to talk to the king.'

CRPG joke.

I don't get it.

Well doodz, don't colonize a planet if you can't. If you can't, just don't do it. There's no point in doing something you can't do. So you should only colonize a planet if you want to... and if you can.

well, generally, in a CRPG, you get a map and somebody tells you to talk to the king.

Expansion of the ruins aspect of the game - perhaps discovering advanced ships that you can use as part of youre fleet - cant be retrofitted though but could be worked into the game. In addition to the ruins game aspect.

Amen to that. I use those 1 facility planets mostly for research or storage. Can't have enough of either of those.

Ed, what Stonehenge symbol are you talking about? I have to click on each planet in the system to see if they a ruin on it. Is there some step I apparently don't know about to get this symbol to appear?

That is what he was talking about. Click on the planet and then look at the screen and it will show the ancient ruins symbol.

I think this has been posted before and it is in the FAQ, but to find all known ruin planets, select the "planets" report and click on the "special" button. This will filter the list to only those with ruins on them.

Ok, thanks. The way he worded it made me think that he could see the symbol on the planet while looking at the system screen, instead of clicking on each planet.
