Happy B-day, rdouglas, I just hit my "yearling" mark too.
I started doing Gas/CO2 because none of the AI had it (or so it seemed) and it just kinda stuck cuz green is my favorite colour..
"No... Blue... AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhh....!!"
... but seriously folks.
I also tend to find that choosing gas giants gives you more Huge and Large planets. <Editor's Note: This observation has not been confirmed by Dr. Alneyan.> As an interesting side note to that concept, I'm involved in a PBW game right now where I totally "lucked-out" and found tons of huge breathers right next door. I'm now finding that it's a bad thing to colonize too many large planets at once early in the game.
Any thoughts on that?
