Building a colony right beside your home planet then mind controlling it at 30 society just to build sensors on it is probably more efficient than building them on your home planet.
Hmm, interesting experiment to be had there. I wonder how much steel/etc you can get from a level 35 planet with maximum population - basically, when does max population stop growing and start shrinking? If it's quite early on, then getting MC at 75-85 like we've been thinking might actually be way off.
Also, I just noticed we (the forum) got a shout out on Dave's mailing list. Thanks very much Dave, if even none of those players decides to play BM because of it I'm sure Tom will thank you
