Planet Bonuses?

Has Planetary Bonuses been removed? I usually like to have some added aid, especially helpful in the beginning of a game, but now I havent got one game, where bonuses show up?

I think what you're talking about is the same as this thread.

I haven't seen any tile bonuses either. I also haven't seen any good/neut/evil choices.

They are rarer, but still there. I seem to be finding more on lower class worlds compared to high PQ ones. May be to make the lower PQ worlds more desirable.

They are still there. The thing is you DONT have any on your initial colony. (ARRRGH 45 minuts of CNTR + N for nothing   ). Also it is true that there is more of them on small PQ planets.

Also note that small PQ planets have HUGE amount of upgradable tiles. My Iconia (PQ4) has like 12 of them. I think this was used to make any planet usefuls. Also note that there is MUCH more small PQ planets. In fact i should say that the median PQ is something like 6.

They seem to be less frequent - as such - altho as pointed out they are definately more prevelant on small PQ worlds than before. I have a feeling the new distribution/level/frequency is as a result of introducing Asteroid Belts and Miners. Introduce an additional form of production, and the overall game balance has to be adjusted somehow, otherwise the game looses balance with over-production enabling too much expenditure on key items.
