Terraforming a planet spoiler warning

[rubyismycat]

ok so im ready to terraform a planet atm im tending towards doing the taldi one where you can build a nvidium workshop but i am unsure as i will only get one shot at this i would ask you guys which is the best planet to terraform choice and why?

[Wraith]

That one of the best actually it an inifinitely scaling profit for nividium.
Profit is base on the population so if you keep boosting the population while at the same time giving them nividium you can earn staggering amount of cash.

My recommendation is in this order.
1. Memory of Profit - money galore once developed for Nividium

2. Scale Plate Green one - (can't remember the name) You no longer get harassed by SCA and as a bonus tons of their ships are given to you as well as them all being modded to some degree which you can then strip them of said mods for even more for your mod collections.
All highly skill crew as well.

3. Show of support - This one doesn't give anything special but it is super easy planet to rush terraforming training allowing you the opportunity to just spew out hundreds of 4 star pilots.

4,5,6. All terraforming related to ANT - it strengthen the ANT giving them more ships jobs which mean they can field a sizable fleet to go against their enemy.

7. It eighteen Billion Credits - A warm feeling inside

All planets take a massive number of resources the resources MUST go through the PHQ so if you want it to go quickly you'll need PHQ to be a fairly massive Wharf / Shipyard with Massive Storage. Tbh, I'd go for the one that is closest to your territories (Stations) as they will reap majority benefit. The faction assigned to planet gets the majority of bonus to Economy Player gets small bonuses.

Well there is no "best planet to terraform" answer, because the rewards are never gona be worth the investment, but for me the best is scale plate green, because you no longer have to worry about SCA raping your station while you defense fleets patrol on the other side of the sector

This. At the point where terraforming is an option you don't need to worry about money anyway. And pacifying the sca is worth the money imo.

All you have to do is assign a destroyer to the station's defense and the pirates won't hack your station any more.

Doesn't work. I have my station protected by 4 bigships and the station itself has defence modules. SCA is still hacking the station every now and then.

it doable if you store up all your resource before sending it in.
you also need to time it with the quake.

If you send resource in interval your progress will keep going down due to the hazard of the planet.

Set the fire override mode on your defense fleet/ship to fire on SCA ships as soon as the ship sees them.

SCA are really not a problem once you realize that mode exists in Vanilla as they are simply destroyed the moment they appear.

They do the hack while disguised so all your ships + station defenses will do nothing till after the hack is finished and 10s of millions of your stuff is floating in space about to be deleted.

yes the only solution is to put an alert when SCA ship enters your space and kill them on sight.

Are they actually assigned to the station manager? I have two illegal wares facilities in Silent Witness and they've never been hacked after I put a Syn on each one.

They are. I tried everything, nothing works.
Having an alert helps to find the culprit, and to be notified that something is happening. If you don't look at your station at the right time you don't even notice that your wares are gone.

Hi, how do you transform a planet? I have done all the projects to kick this off, but never seen any any job board offers to do this. All I get are messages saying planets have been teraformed, or somthing like this, been a while since I did this story line.
