gameplay question ! for real ! here ! :)
Hey,
finally a gameplay question. Im so tired of all the OTs in here.
Now here is it: I have a system in my space which is full of asteroid belts, nothing else apart from a few empty sector. Now is send a few planet-creators there, and guess what ? It reads cant create planets because no star is present. This is pretty stupid. What do i have do in order to terraform the system ? I think i cant create a star as well...

Can't create a star? That's odd; the only reason you can't create a star is if there's a star, ringworld, or sphereworld already in the system...

It isn't stupid. Planets are not livable without stars. They are just dead hunks of rock (and ice) without a strong centralized source of gravity. No heat, no light, no tectonics, etc. You can mine them, but that is about all. That is represented by remote miners.
Have you tried creating a star? Unless the system is marked as a nebulae or black hole base type, you can create a star in it if there is not one present.

Has anyone ever noticed that asteroids have all of teh same stats as a planet, yet you cannont set up colonies on them??? It would be cool if you could set up mining colonies or military outposts in an asteroid belt.

Yes, that would be the only course of action available if you didn't want to just remote-mine it.

That was one of the things you could do in SEIII that you can't in IV.  |

Perhaps (hopefully) it'll be available in SEV again.....

Re: gameplay question ! for real ! here ! :)
You can remote mine a system with no colonized planet in it?
Guess I never tried but I had assumed that the resources would go uhh nowhere.
