| Summary | 0002584: Mark IV World adjacent to player home base | ||||
| Description | So I've created 4 games now and all of them have had a single Mark IV world directly adjacent to the player home planet. From what I understand these worlds are supposed to be Mark I. As far as I'm concerned it really isn't possible to deal with a planet like this early in the game, and if any ships are angered dealing with even a handful of them early in the game is extremely difficult. I've attached the most recent one showing this. My apologies if this is already known, or intended now. This will be my first issue and I couldn't find anything about it in the change log or other recent issues. | ||||

No worries, but this is by design. Sometimes you'll be completely surrounded by higher-mark stuff, but sometimes they will be only mark I. The "only are mark I" thing refers to "non upgraded" AI planets. There are a certain number of upgraded AI planets scattered throughout the galaxy completely at random, and they are perfectly allowed to be next to yours. All the non-upgraded ones are generally mark II, but the ones next to you are mark I. On the bright side, when you get a mark IV next to your home, it is weaker than it would be elsewhere on the map. No ion cannons, and a few other things also can't seed there, to your benefit. |

And this has actually always been the case since pre-1.0, just to be clear -- it's not new. But the nature of randoms might mean that it just hasn't happened to you before by chance. |
