Hello all. I never played SC2 way back then, but I'm a very oldskool kind of guy and I just had to try UQM. So far, it gives me the exact same "whoa, cool" vibe as the original XCom did.
Anyway. More than once, I've had Landers instantly fried upon landing by lightning bolts and various other environmental hazards. At first I was a wee bit miffed since it seemed pretty random, then I figured it probably had something to do with the stats displayed in the main window when scanning. Some of the icons there appear self-explanatory, but most completely stump me. Is there some reference somewhere to these stats and how they affect exploration? I can't seem to find anything related in the manual file.
Thanks in advance for any help!

in the left hand side, is as follows: orbit atmosphere temperature weather tectronics
in the right hand side, is as follows: mass radius gravity day tilt.
if you do not like the pictograms, use the command line cscan pc this will change the the default pictures into text, wich is easier to read. imo. ~DEFIANT

Don't land on higher than 3???
For me, that depends on the stat. Like said before 0-2 is a no-brainer... 3 is pretty dodgeable for all hazards. 4 or 5 for quakes isn't too bad... I generally lose a little crew and burn some extra fuel (to resupply)... But it can be worth it.
If life iis a gold mine. Each unit of biological data is worth 2 credits. Fuel is 1 credit per unit. 1 unit of fuel is 20 RU...
So if you kill something for 5 units of biological data, then that's 200 RU... If you clean up an entire planet and lose 10 or 20 crew... it's probably worth it.
Just my 2 cents

Submit or die.

I wrote a launcher which allows you to change all available UQM settings.
One of them is the ability to turn off the pictogram planet info, and have it just display the text version, like the PC SC2.
Grab it if you'd like

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

I also have a program that does this. It's called "sh", and it won't crash your computer...
