How do we find the hidden ancient ruins?

Only colonize a planet if it is colonizable. Every planet is extremely useful. Even just 1 facility space is far, far better than no facility space.

You can also exchange planets early on and if you have a planet that say youre new planet - and also another racial type say the eee Version with none atmostphere - you being terrans with oxygen if you have a none planet get a hold of some eee population take all the humans off the none planet and plant some eee on it. You get instead of say 5 compoent spots 25 spots and its undomed because the base population is none atmosphere breathers. Make sure that exchanged planets thought are small and tactically and strategically unimportant. Ie a planet deep inside eee territory that would be hard to defend. Give the eee a small planet inside youre territory rope it off with ships if war does break out you can easily recapture.

Id also like to see hidden relics in asteroid fields and they would only be uncovered when you set miners in to mine minerals - it could
a) yield a new tech - perhaps a enhanced mining ability
b) even turn it into a planet - ie by activiting mining activity on asteroid x a planet is formed when the mining crews discover and alien device activate it and a planet is formed (make it a rare thing though - and also user defined from the main menU)

'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?
