how can i find a moon of a planet? send a colony ship to moon? i mean on my galaxy screen n o planets in my systems has mooons... help...?

Good question, id like to know that too.

How to get a moon, how to see one, and how to find one.

A short search of the Help topics will give you numerous topics on the subject. Here's one just passing by now. I'll nab it and post it's URL. It likes its URL posted. It happens so frequently we may have it bronzed.

These two caught my attention:

To prevent any confusion, when he says "given" he means that you can trade moonshots with an ally player/friend. This is often seen as the most reliable way of getting a moon in the place you want. Creating a large Debris Field is the only way of forming a moon.

You can create a moon by bunching a DF and hope no one recycles it as it forms...so once it hits a certain amount it auto builds a moon? Also, i saw that it could take mils to create a small percentage of a moon being created...would it be smart to donate such a large fleet to its destruction? Hopefully your friend has a large enough host to defend himself to make the DF^^ or else they can take time and send small attacks, 4 per day^^

You get a moon from a large battle over a planet's surface. The large the debri field, the higher the chance of a moon.

So which way is correct?

The creation of a moon occurs the moment the battle is fought. There is no cumulative effect of a debris field that will help create a moon. If a debris field already exists it will still be there after the creation of a moon.

And trading moonshots is a common practice with players ignoring the cost for the benefit a moon can give.

Ah i see, that helped.

Although this section:

If a debris field already exists it will still be there after the creation of a moon.

If a moon is created...meaning the DF will still be there?

Yeah, confusing, but part of the game mechanics. The moon is created out of the mathematical chance and not the resultant debris.

I saw this debris field with debris + a green box sarounding the DF. What does this mean? Anything to do with a creation of a moon.

The box around a DF indicates its size. Starting with yellow indicating a smaller DF, green intermediate, and red the largest.

I'm unsure of the size requirements to form each as it appears to have changed a bit recently.

the df with no border is smallest green is next biggest and yellow is intermediate and red is biggest. you need 100k df to make green and 1mill to make yellow and 10mill to make red
