Re: gameplay question ! for real ! here ! :)
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.  |
