Regarding question no. 4, the exploration of new planets i learned about both sides, unlucky (found nothing in about 200 squares) and lucky (to have a streak of 3 planets in double digit amount of squares). I'm with the players who found nothing so far i would even restart the game without my 3 additional planets just to see more balance between all players. So my question here is (even it would not be possible to realize):

Would you support a fresh start of Next Colony with improved game rules especially for exploration?

(even if you found already 3, 5 or 7 planets)

Interesting enough, there is a lot of future potential for Next Colony not just with improvements but with completely new features in the works and i want an universe full of active and enthused players with lively discussion on Discord so i'll continue to give my ideas to the team and support especially the unlucky and unhappy players!
