Minor Bug - Is the Gift Planet Class 5 or 8?

from GalCiv4 Forums

I have seen this in every game I play, but this is the first time I have remembered to get a screen snapshot before clicking on the button in question.

The first screen snapshot shows the window that appears and, when I hover over the first button, it shows a popup that says I will gain a class 5 planet.

The second screen snapshot shows that the planet that I received is actually a rather nice class 8 planet.

Please ask the devs to fix the text of the popup for the first button to reflect the fact that the planet will be a class 8 planet.

I believe it was stated doing development that this event gives at least a class 5 planet.

That's fine, but the point is that, when the player is required to make a decision, the text presented to the player should accurately describe what each option does.  When the text says that you will get a class 5 planet, but in reality you will get a planet that is at least a class 5, I believe that you are not providing the player with accurate information they can use to make a decision.

My memory is a little foggy, but I believe I have always gotten a class 8 planet.  When you said "at least" did you mean that the class of the planet would be random, but at least 5?

That is my understanding of what was posted, this was in Discord, may have even been in the Beta phase.
