Moons

[henk brouwer]

The only moon in the solar system as far as I know that has an atmosphere worth mentioning is Titan (saturn). IIRC its about twice the density of earths, the other moons atmospheres are close to vacuum.

And for pluto and charon: at this moment there's quite a discussion about whether pluto is even worthy of having a planetary status. It's a very small world (2370 KM across), even far smaller then our own moon (3500 KM across) . Charon is half the size of Pluto. They found a lot of space rocks like pluto, even one that could be more than half it's size (800 to 1300 KM) and they keep finding more. Follow this link for information:

A bit away from the original topic (fixing the stupid moons) I have found out through an experimental game that choosing ice/none can be a fairly easy way to trick other human players, ice/none moons are fairly common and if you also choose "advanced resource storage" they give you a moderate number of facilities, the big boost is other human playes can't see them when they enter the system. lol

You can see them if you look carefully at the map. There would be a triangle, instead of a circle, indicating another empire is present in the system somewhere. Than, all you would have to do is start cliking around.
