I found one. At least it was unoccupied and after I used a flux probe I found it was only scanned by me. I thought these were player created only, unless Dan slipped a few into the new batch. Anyone else find one?

The planet was likely owned by a player who reset, or it may have been abandoned and purged.

So you think I just got lucky then? I dont think there's to man players that would abandon a massive crystal with stats like this one. Reset maybe.

What were the stats?

Yup just got lucky, members of my legion in the past have found Colossal 17x Plasmas unoccupied on their scans.

Unless it has pretty fantastic artifacts, it's possible it could have been abandoned. I've been abandoning Demons because they can't be easily maxed out like a toxic can. A crystal can be the same way, especially if the crystalizer's already been used on a sub-par planet.

Yeah that's a very plausible reason, especially considering as most people who want to abandon a crystal planet, usually are the ones that have enough purgers to purge everything before a scan run.

VR, MR, UR respectively. I can hardly believe someone would toss a planet like this.. But I'm just a lowly rank 109 so what do I know right?

size though?

said its massive.. its not a bad planet, id take it and im rank 555.
wouldnt put any real defence on it either. just go for max production.

guess im blind
you put no def on a massive mr arti planet though?
dont expect to keep em if i scan them then.

lol, ive had maybe 4 planets stolen in over a year and a half... 3 of which i took back, one was gone.. nothing amazing either.

Someone stole a 7xmega research planet from me... they didnt realize it was tiny, we had a good laugh about it later on.

LMAO, thats hilarious. i always check size first.

while i wont abondon a planet like that, it's not top of the line so some of the big $$ perfectionlist might...

and besides, there is always the reset possbility so...

When players get banned their planets go back to basic untenanted

Ok so it seems there are a few reasons as to why this planet was lying uninhabitted out there in its upgraded form. So I won't be expecting to come across another like this for a long time then

not true. I recently scanned one of PhoenixRevs exotics and invaded it.

i found a small one with a 30% cloak bouns

You can have natural exotics
