Is there anyway of having the ability for two fam members to send explo ships to the same planet be removed?.. Like an error msg that says a fam member has already sent an exploration ship to this planet.
I don’t see the old warning anymore when mass exploring and got to thinking there is never a situation where anyone would purposely send to the same planet as a fam member so why not just remove it?
Great idea PA!
Might be able to tie it to the code when it shows “Preparing to explore”.
What do you think Pie? Any chance you can disable this?
yep =) . it was a casualty of the map redesign. we can add it back in, just need to get around to it
okay cool… what do you think about taking it a step further and making it impossible to explore the same planets instead of just a warning? I feel like the warning can get glanced over at times making for unnecessary family drama.
It actually was impossible to do inter fam for a while, so i suppose that’s what will be re implemented when he gets there. 
Ahhh guess I didn’t play then… thought it has always just been a warning.
Don’t think it was a thing for all that long, was probably a year or 2 ago…
You don’t want to make it impossible to explore because if one person is going to take 24 hours to get there then another person goes to explore and it will only take them 4 the family would prefer the 2nd person to get to the planet if necessary.
shortest timer overrides, a news message gets sent to the first guy and then if same same, block it
I have an idea…
When you go to explore an empty planet, and somebody from your family already has sent an expo to that planet, you get a prompt before you can confirm the send…it says this:
“Arby3 of your family has sent an expo to this planet already. It will arrive in # ticks. Are you sure you want to send your won exploration ship?”
That would be the best scenario. It flags it as already sent to, and also gives you the time. If that family member also keeps exploring planets that you’re already planning, then you get to have a conversation!
Wait a sec…
Mace (kinda inadvertently) brings up a good point.
Warning is good, however intra fam explos have to be contested.
Think about in war when planets are blowing up.
I kinda like that random aspect. 
Is there an ETA on this? It is probably the most annoying thing about this game currently. It sucks when the round starts when the entire fam is sending out eships and it sucks now while explo phase is ending and everyone again is sending to the same planets.
Hopefully within the next week.
i like the ideas but one thing i would want to see thrown in is refund on the expo if you choose to recall.
That’s likely to happen in some form. Relevant thread is below:
Will this be fixed before next round? Having 2 fams, or 4 fams … or whatever is going on … this is going to be a huge headache if 20+ players have to coordinate explo landings.
Good question Pick!
Not sure yet. The normal test/fix process is still being fixed but I can see about a workaround for this instance.
No guarantees atm but I know how much of a pain this one is so I’ll bump the priority on it.
easy fix is to coordinate better 
lol duh! just takes a little chattin.
