From now on, I join the club of those who found their first planet. I know many have done it. And I would not want to be in the camp of those who have not yet done so.
The farther you go deep into space, the more difficult it becomes to discover the next planet. Because the distance increases. Thus, you do not get a very large number of planets. I like it.
I like that NextColony requires you to do some tactical thinking and provides options for maneuver.
