Ouch... that'll teach me to read planet description more carefully... btw, is your avatar from Three Panel Soul? That mean guy in the gym?
I started a new game, found a destroyer and took it over. Then I accidentally fried my own team while using the on-ship AoE weapon on planet surface.
I have more questions:
1) Is there a list of the meaning planet colors? I discovered a few - it seems the color of the "o" is for atmosphere (green - corrosive, orange - exotic, blue - earth-like), but what about highlights? Does highlight just mean that there's something special on the planet?
2) How does turn sequence in space combat go? I fought and luckily killed a pirate ship once, but I'm not very clear on when it is time to move or fire. I also can't find a full list of what the characters mean (and I can't use the eXamine command). It seems to be move for a few turns, then fire all the weapons. Am I correct?
3) Where do you read description about an unique planet? I landed onto one with deadly alien robots and anti-air defense turret again. It's at the bottom of the scan screen, stupid!
I'm now the captain of an Explorer ship, and a crew of 5 (just got 2 red shirts killed). Half-way to the winning condition, and I still suck at both ship and personal combat!

End mission summary
I never explored those special places though... I didn't have the personal combat skills to back me up.
I had a few crashes when I returned to a base and talked to the guy there. Reloading and retrying seem to work, as I could turn in data and resources. It seems to involve quests, as in this game I can not open quest log (Q)... the game will show some pages of yellow text that flash past very fast, then quit itself.
