The dots above are the colonies of our alliance currently.

Will everyone set their next colony to the bottom right or it's remaking?  ???

Is it a bad thing that I'm in -1|0?

I've sent a probe to the nearby star system only to discover it is LITERALLY THE MOST BORING THING EVER! There's nobody there and a couple of planets that don't have any interesting resources as far as I know. What's there to do after you complete the tutorial?

Is it really wise to give away the exact locations of our homeworlds like this?

and I kind of feel like nothing makes any particular planet all that special, so there's not really any reason for people to specifically seek us out.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

That's kind of the feeling I got as well.

Standard paranoia. I'm not sure how hard it is to track down all colonies owned by a player/alliance, and I generally dislike having enemy intel officers able to pin down our locations with just a quick Google search.

Although I suppose that the increase centralization, making it easier to defend each other, would likely make up for it.

O.o there is a 90 size planet nearby gas giant though, but theres a couple 60 size habitals near by.  Debating if I want to go for a high resource 46ish planet or one of these 60 habitals *shrug*

Observatory Lv5, and about 32k of each resource, I think. Actually building the colony on another planet requires tons and tons of happiness.
