Using my new custom race, I strolled around the galaxy, looking for planets to colonize. I had four planets already: My class 10 homeworld, the class 4 in-system planet, a class 11 planet, and a class 9 planet with a tile that has +700% to manufacturing (I had 124 social points on there early game as I made it my manufacturing capital). I was about to send my colony ship to a nearby class 5 planet, but my survey vessel spotted something. A class 19 planet! Sweet! I immediately re-routed my survey vessel to the 4x better planet. Unfortunately, the Humans found it first, and were getting ready to colonize it. I couldn't let that happen. I quickly made an ugly new colony ship design that had a higher speed, and upgraded immediately. I eventually got there first, but I got a random event once I colonized it. Apparently, there were worms on the world, and they were sucking out the good soil. I could let them stay and suffer a -6% planet quality, which would cost me a whole tile. I could send them to a non-populated place for no effect. Or, I could be evil and kill them for +39% planet quality, which would give me SEVEN more tiles. I wonder which to choose! After choosing, I had a sweet planet with the quality of 26. Needless to say, the other four races are going to fight their asses off for it. Good thing I went straight for mass drivers early on! I could upgrade it to a class 29 later on. But, then I would be spoiled.
This was even better than the five-in-a-row +2500bc anomalies I got IN THE SAME GAME.
P.S. This was all before the end of the first year.
P.S.S. I didn't up my luck factor.
P.S.S.S. No, I didn't cheat.
P.S.S.S.S. No, I don't have any planet quality increasing abilities.
I wonder who will win the game?
