How do I discover planets and name my home planet?

[Ferinos]

Hi, I know you click send mothership to explore for planets, but like, nothing ever happens. I have sent it out around 20 times and its always no planet found or in dangerously low supply.

And how do I rename my home planet?

You can't rename your home planet.

It can take many many attempts to find a planet (I think it was quoted as 40 on average somewhere) - but the fact is that there do not appear to be many available planets at the momnet.

MOVED - please post in the relevant sections.

First off... When you send your MS off it needs to Spot over 70 Planets before it can get a planet for you and yes they are in very Low supply as for renaming your home planet ya can't it'll stay Home planet for ever.
Hope that helps

With planets in such short supply, your best bet for getting more is to steal them. Frankly, although you’re only supposed to 'need' around 48 spots, you can have 400 and still not get anything because there simply wasn't a planet out there at the time.

After all, the number of planets is finite, and TGW players have been collecting them for quite a while.

someone said that fleets affect sightings.
ive sent my ms out at least5 times now
im sending it out constantly to see how many it needs to get a planet

[ododd]

I dont think they do. Its really the supply. Sometimes when my MS comes back it says something like 29 sightings, but usually its none. I think the gameadmin might add a few planets or there were just a bunch abandonded at once.

either u steal them of hope someone abandons a planet
