This is 'worst case' scenario too...

Sorry, but that's not the worst case scenario. Here's one significantly worse: your noIFE IS starts in a small packed uni, where your planet draw with closest 70 planets is 1-in-11 instead 1-in-6, and there are only 3 green planets in 2 W-9 jumps. So your initiall idea of small compact empire that will be filled quickly without the FM and will also start kicking others quickly goes thrugh the window, and you change the diplo stance from intended "I'll kill you all Pirate " to "we're poor friendly peace lowers Puppy dog eyes ".

After some diplo you manage to get intersettling agreement, but new green planets are 300-450 LY far from the HW, and there's only ONE refuell station on the way there. OFC you start building FXs and other refuell stations, but each takes 2 PVTs of pop and minerals and 2 turns to be build. Sad

To make matters worse there's only ONE big yellow planet (70% hab) and two 60% with terra-7 in ~200 known planets, the rest are tinies that need 10+ terra to become 20-40% habitable, only a few of them and single medium 60% in your space. Yuck

To add insult to injury, the sole breeder on the far side of your newly gained space, that you finaly managed to bring up to start exporting pop, got hit by a huge meteor, that kills 85% of the pop and radically changes the environment, ofc. to the worse. Mad2 Head Explode

Now you're spread thinily accros 1/4 of the universe, and even after 15 turns of intersettling there are still some planets to settle in the far corner of your neighbour's space, but you're again at the starting problem of bringing there enough pop for that. Confused3 Wall Bash

And the last thing you find after some planets checking is you'd fare better if you'd start as a 1WW race, because there would be 4 green and 2 yellow planets in the same space you currently occupy. Going insane

Give me back my 3-immune HE!!!!!! Wink

BR, Iztok
