Just to clarify, I did not, nor know how to, earn this Achievement. Its just a pic for you people who wonder what it looks like. I apologise if this has been posted before.

Bunch of people know how to earn it :)

My hint I always give people: You'll get it without specifically looking for it.

That's it, koscy, let's confuse everyone to hell and back so they think the way to get it is to suicide all your ships at a star in just the right order.  :LOL:

I got it in the very first game I played, though I have no idea how.

i've also got the achievement, i explored a captured pirate base and found space ponies, in the same way you find penal colonies etc, so thats how you get them, but does anyone know what they do?

I was watching a replay of a game, and somehow I got it. Don't know why though.

Spacepony is a planet bonus that means you must do exploration to get it.

For those who can't wait to get it they should mod a planet*.entity and add PlanetBonusSpacePony as a required bonus so you will get space pony every time you colonize of those planets.

Can someone clue some of us in on the whole "space ponies" thing? I know it's an inside joke among the beta testers, but I'm curious as to what the joke is, exactly.

The Ponies are a lie!

I still to this day have never gotten this one.

Been trying lots of maps just to see if i can find it.

Lots of small maps many medium maps and a few large+ maps

It doesnt do anything. There's no specific way or requirments for the planetary bonus to show up. Its just completely random. If you're just dying toget it however, download the Diplomacy Forge and add it to a planet through that. I would however be interested in what the original joke was behind it though, if anyone knows...
