Thank you Barbara, this really gives me ideas on how other people think for defending colonies on the random layouts. I don't have favorites yet, but I hope others will jump in and show some of theirs. Good job!

Gotta say, adding random layouts to the game was nothing but a good idea.

Very glad people are posting the screenies. Some of the spots you guys used I wouldn't have even given a thought to dome in. Unique perspectives, make for interesting domes. Good job!

Please don't let this thread die, it might be the only thing helping new players dome things in spots that won't get immediately taken. Besides that it gives me great perspective on the mind of invaders. The new layouts are very confusing for new players. Half the time they have a viable colony they worked hard on, but the dome placement makes it an easy target. This will help them see what works. Keep up the great work!

Please, please keep posting some shots!

I've Just come back from a long hiatus (Epiphron), and this is the only active layout thread!
Its so hard to convince busy builders to come check out the planet layouts and offer dome placements on these randoms.

Thanks in Advance Guys!

Seems like the new best cols are a combination of a nuke eater with a choke point where you have to fly right by solar. I wouldn't say a lot of these layouts are dangerous but rather just a pain in the donkey. Need a corpie to ds and then need to kill about 100 lazors.
