[PEDANTRY] Show Unexplored Planets tooltip is ambiguous

[zebramatt]

On the Host New Game Setup Screen, under Game Options, the Show Unexplored Planets checkbox tooltip is ambiguous. The second sentence, "Be advised that the Human Colony Rebellion and Mining Golem minor factions can be very hard to play with this option," seems to suggest that showing unexplored planets makes it more difficult to resolve rebellions or destroy mining golems - is that right?

[x4000]

Yes -- because if they come before you have shown those plaets at all, you could be in real trouble.

[zebramatt]

I'm still confused! Surely the "Show Unexplored Planets" checkbox, when ticked, therefore makes it easier to defend against threats of this sort?

Changing the option from the default makes it harder

[Sizzle]

Perhaps "Be advised that the Human Colony Rebellion and Mining Golem minor factions can be very hard to play with this option disabled"  ?

[Fleet]

I think a hide unexplored planets option, by default disabled, may make a little more sense.

[zebramatt]

Either change would certainly confuse me less!

My money's on the former - it just needs to tell me whether enabled or disabled makes miners and rebels trickier...

[Weapon Master]

While I have not experienced this for myself, why I think it gets harder when they are shown is because now it can spawn anywhere on the map, while without it it can be shown only 1 hop from currently explored planets. Meaning if you show unexplored planets and have the human rebels enabled, it has a chance of spawning above 10 hops away.
