Planets

Planets vary in appearance, size, weather, and various other details. Planets may be reused in different galaxies with different information and details. Tapping planets within range provides information about the planet, traveling fuel cost, enemies, etc.

Things to consider while visiting planets:

Size
Determines the total number of encounters, combat and non-combat, and possibly planet exploration fuel requirements. * Fuel costs may decrease with research.

Weather
Affects Buffs and Debuffs

Detailed information about weather effects can be found by hovering over the cloud icon prior to traveling, and by the planet's name once reached.

* Some weapons and pilot special attacks can also trigger weather otherwise not found on the planet.

Neutrality
Influences chances of combat encounters
 * Hostile: Increased chance of enemy encounters (increased likelihood of combat encounters)
 * Neutral: Normal chance of enemy encounters
 * Friendly: Reduced chance of enemy encounters (increased likelihood of non-combat encounters)
