I'm just bitter because Mott beat my high score and I know there's no way I'll ever get that far again.

There are patches where you get more of one type of image then another (say, more personnel then planets or more ships then nebulae), but it always seemed totally random to me. If Mr. Kenney is hinting that there might be a method to that madness, then maybe Mr. Mott's days at the top are numbered just like mine were... :?

Mr Kenney, or rather Mr Kennedy (Ian will do). Is simply saying that it seems that at certain times the random number generator seems to kick out sequences that don't give planets that often. This is probably true as most computer random number generators use the time as a seed.

Played it a bit ago. Got up to four without seeing a planet. But it was the water one from Voyager (probably the only one out of this solar system that I remember). I got it right. But then the next one was a TOS planet... I lost. :lol:
Stupid planets, all look so alike.

Looks like someone has been playing recently. :lol:
Man I wish I could get a score that high.

BTW, I just had the weirdest thing happen. I got eight temporal incidents in a row. A few I even had to guess on.
And then it does a planet.

Just a thought, Ian............different levels of difficulty would be GREAT. Don't know how hard that would be to do though. Like say cadet, no nebulas or planets..........officer, put in the nebulas, and Captain hit 'em all.
