Wow, what an knee-jerk response, please read before responding.  I already posted earlier that I do hover over the planet but I have no idea what bonus "thecnopod hive" provides or "necros herb", or whatever the tile bonuses are.  I have not memorized all these, have you?  If so, good for you.  Because when I hover over the planet, it just tells me the name, it does not tell me what they do.  (And yes, before you get all bothered, those are fake names, because I do not recall real tile bonus names at this time.)

And what does it matter to you? If you are fine the way things are, great.  If stardock DID add that helpful tip on the colonizing event screen, how would it ruin your game?  I never understand the attitude of people who argue AGAINST adding things to the help the player.   Poster #1: "Hey I would like to see A, B and C, please."  Poster #2 "No, we don't need that, don't you know you can alt-tab out of the game and google it!!??"

If you don't need it, great, ignore it.  But it might help some people.  Were you against them adding those hover tooltips in the first place? 

And as far as the AngryJoe comment - ok, maybe I misheard, but actually I agree with him, it would be nice to see the ideology tree too before making a decision.  Stardock could just make it so that you can post-pone the decision until end of turn, escape out, look around and then make the decision.  I don't understand why it is so rigid when almost everything else can be post-poned.

4X is about min-maxing within a certain set of random circumstances.  What you describe is two chess programs going at each other with no randomness at all. 

I don't believe that either of us have the authority to define what 4X really is, but your definition seems to eliminate an awful lot of what is currently in the genre.  I don't know of a 4X that completely eliminates randomness as much as you seem to need.
