After finding my first planet things are slowly moving forward. I am slowly upgrading everything to increase resource production on my new planet. This will greatly speed up the time needed for future upgrades since now I have two planets producing resources. I got my explorers going again and am looking for more planets, maybe another 1% miracle will be possible soon :)
Luckily no new attacks have come my way again, I have been doing some defensive upgrades and continue upgrading my battle ships.
Good Luck Explorers!
