- Can auto-pilot sequences be skipped? They're quite boring, you should be able to simply jump to destination, if nothing happens along the way... - Is there a way to "buy" crew, just like fuel? - Earthquakes are easy to avoid, but lightning and flames seem so... unavoidable. Are they just a matter of luck?
Thanks!

In regards to the first question, no, they can't be skipped. Mainly because while you're travelling through hyperspace, there's a chance you'll encounter other ships, even if you're not within another alien's "territory". And the game wants to give you the option to avoid other ships, which you can usually see approaching.

Also, you CAN dodge hotspots, though it is hard. Lightning however, is unavoidable.

I know how to read planet statistics... I meant how to evade those hazard AFTER you've landed. Lightning and starting flames seem to be istantaneous, so there's no way to avoid them... or?

Well, for hot-spots, the best thing is to keep moving. Also, get the upgrade for speed and fire-resistance as soon as you can. (from the melnorme)

Yes, reverse speed would be useful Another question: planet orbits have different colors, does it have a useful meaning?

He said planet orbits, not planets themselves...
Planets with orange and red orbits are very hot, expect hotspots on their surface. Planets with green orbits have surface temperature very close to that on Earth, and therefore many of them can support life. Planets with grey orbits are much colder than Earth, and planets with blue orbits are the coldest.

Thanks for the orbit tips, however i see many planets with temperature under -200° support life!
