100 explorations, 8 explorers lost (8% lost) and still no planet found. I will rather quit this game because of boredom before I will be able to find any planet. I need to find a second planet, not battleships.
Before adding next new features please fix those things which were badly designed like the very uneven chances of finding a planet. For e. g. my neighbor stats 156 explorations, 6 explorers lost (3% lost), 4 planets found (1 planet per 40 explorations). Without the fixes the game has very low game play. The only thing which counts here is LUCK (luck in finding planets, luck in not losing explorers, luck in having neighbors which are not exploring the space and which you can safely be farm). Currently in Next Colony there is very a small place for any STRATEGIC game play :(
