A few factors to consider in choosing the next planet:
Thoughts on each planet:
Eukaryote: Fuck no. This is basically Carnival, but with an added chance of us taking Sbat to see a doctor and having him injected with three doses of evofluid.
Reptilia: This seems like Archaeplastida 2.0, and we lost two crew members on this planet and had a third mutate and a fourth get sick. Thanks but no thanks.
Collmoros: Pretty much ideal. This planet has a hospital for Sbat if he needs it (literally, the hospital is one of the 2 places mentioned on the planet page) and it's a homeworld with plenty of potential recruitment opportunities and shops. The danger level is right in the middle -- it has dangerous and rare animals we can hunt down if we're interested, but if things go sour we can also avoid any conflict and get the hell out of there.
Inteligo: This planet is sort of a death trap, and even though we have Pipsy, we also have only like half a crew left. If we went here we'd presumably stay in the central city, but even that is pretty dangerous, with the planet page saying it's "attacked by the surrounding fauna every week". High risk high reward but I really don't think we need ancient and powerful weaponry by planet 2, especially when we seem to be gathering an army of animals instead.
Carnival: This planet will undoubtedly be the most entertaining, especially with Kratos as our patron. We could probably pick up some absolute freaks here and really spice up our crew. At the same time though we'd probably risk fucking up our existing crew members, which is cool if y'all are okay with that I guess?
Smoltek: While this planet isn't super dangerous in itself, it's relatively empty, which is the opposite of what we want right now. There's not guaranteed to be shops or recruitment opportunities here, and the combination of wild blood mantises + toxic atmosphere could cause things to go wrong really really fast, especially since I don't think our capture creatures, our biggest asset, can be safely brought outside on this planet.
I would definitely say that the best two options are Collmoros and Carnival, depending on if you want to maximize the chances of this crew's success or go for the most interesting game possible. Honestly not sure which of the two I'll vote for.
- We have some empty crew slots, so it's ideal to visit a planet that would allow us to recruit new friends.
- Sbat is sick. Xorithe is supposed to be a doctor but we probably want to be able to get Sbat real treatment in case it turns out to be a big problem.
- We have quite a lot of money, so we'd like to go somewhere where there's shops so we can spend some of it.
- We have Pipsqueak and a parade of other capture creatures now, in addition to a bunch of blessed cards, so we can sort of handle dangerous planets and get better loot.
