No I'm not really saying that at all. The routines were written in the original games and I have not modified them all that much. What I did was add some messages about what cargo the planet wanted and would sell you you. I don't see anything in the code that differentiates between terraformed, platform, pirate haven, or even Ancient Civ so I think it's just a matter of a combination of PC's, POP, Military units, etc. on the planet. I have to look a little more carefully to see why the % difference. Try to do some looking this weekend.
