thanks for posring this ive been asked how to change a colonys name dozens of time nice visual aids to.

how many colonies can you have as max?

1 home planet and 20 colonies

what happens if the ships have the same time so like i meen
player1 ship time: 1:23:65:98:65 and so on
player2 ship time: 1:23:65:98:65 and so on

what would happen then?
which 1 would get it and which 1 wouldnt

Whichever ship was launched first.

Thanks alot.
I've had a colony hip for nearly a week and thought I'd tried everything.

The way I got It explained by a top ranked geezer was It was an empty planet??Not any slot.

This should be part of 'how to start'

Took me just over a week.

Then another wasted..

Does having Cruisers 1st seem backward.(Only got them today)

Is there a way to view the actual field size of a planet before it is colonized?
(There are estimated planet sizes but looking to see if I missed a way to preview)

No. The only way to see the size of a colony is to colonize it.

Thank you. As always, everyone's help is greatly appreciated.

Hello people :)
i have a new question, not like the other guys who repeated themselves.
What is (if there is) the cost for making a planet beside the cost of the colony ship? because if there is none, you can colonize as fast as u can afford 100K metal and crystal.....and therefore get to the max very quickly...

and by the way the max planets allowed are only 10 colonies+home at normal and speed. at Xtreme u can have 20 colonies.
