Slowly my explorations continue, no more planets have been found, but at least I have found one additional planet. Which is much better than some, who have already given up because they have not been able to find additional planets. Some of the planets around me have become dormant, which I guess is not so bad because I do not have to worry about attacks. My explorer ships continue to fly and I am slowly building up my battle ships and upgrading skills... Hopefully I will be able to build enough ships fast enough to defend myself against stronger players. Only time will tell what the future of this universe will bring...
Good luck explorers!
