214 will give us a good mix of diplomacy, terraforming, and dual-star chaos.

I'll go ahead and say 217 is the best place to start an empire from in all probability, but it looks like the majority is against me.

214

[Tarran]

I'll go ahead and say 217 is the best place to start an empire from in all probability, but it looks like the majority is against me.

All the planets are rocky, though, so it will be tough to survive in 217. Plus, there's nobody around, so we won't get to taste diplomacy for a while there. The strange energy signature is tempting, but the system just has more negatives than pluses in my opinion.

[filiusenox]

You set your course to 214.
The ship speeds up for a moment, making it feel like everything just rushed to the back of your skull.
And then slows as a large message begins to blink on the ship's status screens:
{Out_Of_Fuel.}

Spoiler: Current Inventory (click to show/hide)

 You have seven Space to ground vehicles but most of them are either disabled or were scavenged for parts when the colonizer ship started to fall apart. So you have about two. They can carry twenty people, twenty weaponry, five housing kits, five water purifiers and a greenhouse kit.
You have seven space and planet probes.
There is one thousand and fifty-one of your people upon the ship.
You have plenty of energy. The dual suns are pumping out high amounts of it.
The Colonizer is currently self sufficient. But requires more fuel and some raw materials for repair.
You have fifteen greenhouse kits.
You have Five hundred units of weaponry.
You have Fifty-two water purifiers.
You have Twenty housing kits.
You have one incredibly broken "Loom" kit.

What do you do?
Any questions?

[Repulsion]

  One question: I assume we are at 214? Or have we run out of fuel at a different place?

[Tarran]

Question: Do we have any scanners to detect which planet the civilization is on?

[Shootandrun]

Bring the two space to ground vessels on the planet without civilization (if we know wich one it is...), of course filled with max people, weaponry, housing kits, water purifiers and greenhouse kit. Go in a plain, near of a forest  and a river. Ask the 40 people down there to start building a little base, a place where it will be possible to land safely. Organize a defense perimeter. Send probes so scout the surroundings.
On the ship, start repairing the other Space to ground vehicles.

EDIT: changed the part with probes.

[filiusenox]

((@Repulsion: Yes
@Tarran: The probes can tell you everything you need to know about a planet if launched towards one.
They cannot however build or mine.
[214,II] Is uninhabited.

You almost tell the overeager colonists to begin settlement but you don't even know what type of atmosphere there is or what type of organisms exist on the planet.))

[Taricus]

Launch probes towards all planets

[Tarran]

And steer the ship so it slowly gets closer to the second planet.

[filiusenox]

You launch four probes simultaneously.
The rocky planets info comes in first.

Spoiler: IV (click to show/hide)

High amount of volcanism.
Many lodes of copper.
Low amount of iron.
No limestone or other organics discovered.
(Mercury sized)

Spoiler: III (click to show/hide)

Mostly Granite-type rock.
Cold,
(Mars sized)

Spoiler: II (click to show/hide)

(Eathlike in most ways.)
Thin atmosphere. Can breathe it but bit tireing.
Iron/silicon type planet.
Strange readings from a plant.
The soil is heavily disturbed.
A civilization existed here before. Now gone.
Worms, bacteria, and funguses exist in majority.
{ERROR_Module:847_ Malfunction.}
(Venus sized)

Spoiler: I (click to show/hide)

Warm.
High hydrogen count in seas.
Civilization exists here.
Iron is incredibly prevalent. Almost no silicon.

You manipilate the heavy and bulky controls so that you drift closer to [214,II] you'll be there in a turn.
You can see the planet in the observation deck.

So what do you do?
