Remember that planetary mnemonic? "Very Young Orangutans Could Grow Bananas, Perhaps Rather Well"? This would tell you the relative mineral value of a planet? Can someone tell me what all of these stood for? In all of these years of playing, I never figured them all out. Was it this? Can anyone confirm or deny?
V=Violet (or Viridian?) Y=Yellow O=Orange C=Cyan G=Green B=Blue P=Pink (or Purple?) R=Red W=White
And which are the best/worst? V is the worst, W is the best?

Reverse; Violet stood a chance of being a Pelucid world which would sometimes have a small amount of exotics. Yellows were often Lanthanides or Treasure worlds. White were either dust worlds or gas giants.

Yeah, that phrase screwed with me too. The only rule I ever took as absolute with planets was "Always check yellow and orange worlds".

For me, i always checked Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Orange worlds,,, here is my line of thought behind my choosing
Red = Ruby Worlds Green = Emerald Worlds or a world with lifeforms Blue = Saphire Worlds or a world with lifeforms Yellow = Treasure Worlds Orange = Radioactive Worlds
As you can see i only pick up 3 kinds of minerals... Exotics Radioactives Precious Metals
and of course lifeforms (even if i have bought everything from the Melnorme )
Just to give you guys a hint, most of the Ruby, Saphire, and Emerald worlds I find are the bottom left area of the starmap and a few are also around some Supergiant stars

I think the mnemonic meant something like: Delta Tauri and Alpha Centauri are great.
Not sure though...
