Topic: Question about SuperNova

Why is it that some of the home systems have a mixture of ressie's planets, and some don't have the same mix. 
I have noticed that it mainly has to do with iron planets.
Why is it that some get a an extra iron planet in there home sytem at the start, when others have to expo other systems because of this!
Is this a bug?
Why are not all home systems on even footing, this seems to give tho that have the exta iron in HS a much better start to the round, and put other on the defensive right away

yeah, yeah, yeah, your the best in the game!
But have you played against " Chuck Norris ! "

Re: Question about SuperNova

As i understand it, the placing of resources is designed to be random, as well as the percentages. For example, 1 system could have a 66% research planet, 5 iron planets around 15-20%, and 1 endu 16% and food 35% on the last planet. Theres no real rhyme or reason in this case. In the situation of morale planets, I'm not quite sure if they are as randomized seeing as they are not just invisible til you explore them, but i'm curious if the mods are able to declare a certain number per galaxy to even the numbers out

Re: Question about SuperNova

Also, resource percentages arent necessarily an advantage early on. A 25% iron or endu planet maybe, but 10-15% doesnt really make much of a difference early on. Perhaps after the first week when people start mass building, however, by that point other families could have easily explored much better planets. Now if they start off with a morale planet in their home system, which has happened to my families in the past (2 in one case) thats a really big advantage

Re: Question about SuperNova

well i have to beg to differ on what you posted   if you have taken a look at most/all the home systems  the lowest % for iron is around 34, some of these systems have 2 or 3 iron as well as all the rst.  When they go to expo after the first 5-6 ticks  they have protected resources which are need greatly at the start of the round.  Wher the others have to expo out of there protected system, and hope someone doesnt attack them before thier lasers, or at least some sort of defence is in place.

what it really boils down to is this, if your going to make it a fair game, evenly match game,  between all at the start do so! After all we all have to start at the same time. Why are some already starting form -1, when other are even matched.  the home systems for the game should all be the same. same amout of iron, endo, oct, food, science, and cash for all, it's what you do with it from there that makes or breaks u,   

well that and flashy refusing to use KY Jelly  wink

yeah, yeah, yeah, your the best in the game!

Re: Question about SuperNova

I brought this up years ago, it can be done manually but "too much work" etc etc, you know, the same old same old excuses. smile You can manually make the Maps, I even thought up an idea of Map making competitions during the rounds, so we play the winners Map the next round etc, but same excuse again.

Someone will post otherwise I'm sure, but I was there.. smile
