Someone posted a screenshot of a PQ 72 planet today

PQ 72 planet

Holy spuds batman!

Are you sure that one was real?

Planets range from 0 (Uninhabitable) with a gap that leaves non existant 1's 2's and 3's, and 4-26 which are from the most crappy inhabitable planets to the best paradise worlds there are (Mars to Eden).

The racial bonuses for Planet Quality will at most turn a Q26 planet into a Q32 planet.

Then you have terraforming which will on average improve 6 classes by the time it is done.

So we have a Q38 planet.

PQ improving galactic resources were scrapped a long time ago in Galciv I days..So those are out of the question.

And even if you got the +50% evil planetquality random event bonus, You would only have a class 48 or so planet, Which fills up all of the board (1PQ = 1 tile AFAIK).

So a Q72 planet is impossible.

For proof, Could someone take a screenshot of the planet lay out screen and bring up the fake screenshot, Alt tab between the two and you should notice the 72 being a few pixels off..

(Educated guess)

There was a Gal Civ 1 random event that could boost PQ into the 40s. Finding some Precussor artifact if I recall. Same thing in Gal Civ 2?

Oh yeah..It is..

There is a random event that doubles PQ..

However its very rare, The rough equivilent of winning the lottery.

But if the Dev Team is half as smart as I suspect them to be, They would have restricted it for low level planets (To a max of say, Level 10 planets) *enquireing glance at dev team*

Lol... that's funny, it really is. It's a legit picture (it was an actual picture since I didn't know how to workt eh whole screen shot thing). Did you take into acount random bonuses that boost planet rankings? I still have the save game with it, i've offered to give it (and anyhting else) to the devs sothey can see it's unmodded. I've done everything I know how to do, knowing some would still refuse to believe it. What can I say, some people still think the earth is flat. I didn't edit, i didn't cheat, it just happened. Why would I lie? I have nothing to gain, it doesn't mean I'm better, I don't even own the planet, if anything it's a boost for the AI (I don't even know how to mod the game). But, what ever, if it happens to you, then you'll know. It's a great game, and it is that, a game.

Wow!! A class 72 Planet. Biggest I have seen in my games is a class 26

Citizen Feud
it's called the Print Screen Button on the keyboard. hit that up and post the screen shot, else NO WAY it's a 72!

The class 72 had to have been a bug of some sort, simply because it was the Iconian homeworld (fixed starting PQ of 15, no colonization events possible since it's a homeworld). The Iconians would have had to get the PQ douler event multiple times to get it as high as it was, and it's statistically improbable to even get it more than once in several games, let alone one.

He did post his screenshot, Montag, in another thread.

yeah well he sent his save game to Star Dock so we'll all know eventually what the issue is. Is a PQ 72 possible or was it a bug. I personally think bug as I have had some legit 36 planets and if I hit the Evil bonus.. WHAM.. 72! would it have 72 tiles? No, so the game may have a small bug that doubles the PQ listing but not the actual PQ.

Ok everyone, here it is. I'm not too good with this whole link thing, so i don't know which one will work. The planet is located int he top right of the screen, "New Iconia" I think is the name.
