    It is notable that while the vast majority of tiles will be hexagons, due to the nature of a spherical shape, a few tiles will be pentagons in order to cover the entirety of a planet.


    The Wiki says that for geometrical reasons some tiles on the poles have to be pentas instead of hexes. But I have yet to encounter one of those. And it should not change the sphere, but in contrary enforce that form.

  2. In my experience by now:
    Territories on Haven are safe and permanent.
    The 1 to 3 Territories you mark as Headquarters (probably Hauptquartier in german) stop working if you do not pay taxes, but you can still build and farm and dig there.
    Every other territory gets unclaimed after 2 weeks. And if you are close to Market 06 or on some higher tier mining areal then some old pro will claim it within 20 minutes. 😒 And somehow your Territory unit vanishes with the claim. At least that was what happened to me.

    But it's okay: I had to move and found a much better place.
    And after all competiion is part of what makes that game thrilling.

  3. Tour #4, Friday,: A night trip, this time mostly east and south of Alioth, with a turn over a quarter of the eggqautor. 🤪.

    Here is a romantic shot of NQ-Nicodemos setting up the egg at Sethioz's Hangar.  (I kept V active again so you can see the names.)

  4. "Group picture" while taking off from Hadron.
    NQ-Nicodemus at helms.
    The welll-behaved builders sit in their egg seats - while the pirate-minded adventurers stand at bow or mast while speeding at 5000 km/h back to the Institutes.

    Most players join in persona. But of course you can VR in, even when the eggship already is on its tour.

  5. A small moment: NQ-Nyota admiring Hadron's Medical center - while in the chat some well-known names pat their backs.

    This is one of the reasons I love this game: There is so incredibly much to see and the community is full of talented, highly competive and at the same time cooperative nerds. 💕

  6. The whole eggstatic crew disbarking at Hadron. (I jumped off from orbit to be ready to catch them all getting off the eggship.)

    I really recommend this tours. If you are new to the game, you will get an idea what is possible in this universe. If you have been busy for many months it is a good chance to rub shoulders with some well-known fellow noveans. And if you are a veteran it still is an opportunity to present what you bulit, speak a few words, or shamelessly plug your newest blueprints. 😇

  7. Day 2: Once again more than two dozen players (all different from day 1 except 2).

    New Markland City. Everyone swarming to get some views.

    A surprisingly detal-rich cityscape. Look at the chat: If Ryan Pryde (Hadron) gives you a compliment, you know you are buildig well.

    Once again NQ-Nicodemus in center preparing to lay an egg, while NQ-Nyota is having a watchful eye in the sky on her herd.
