Do all the planets have the green plus sign if they have an outpost?
I found a couple uncharted worlds but have yet to find a city on them. Just wondering if i gotta go over a PLANET with a fine tooth comb to find the landing pad.

Yes, there are many planets without cities or docking bays/Stations and they will not have a plus sign....

But will there be planets that DO have a landing dock without the plus sign? Thats what I originally meant but its been a long day and me make no sense lol

Yes, if you pick up the city on your sensors, it has a docking pad (bracket or no bracket). There are also a few cities that are cloaked from sensors, but also have docking pads.

Hey Alaric. You've got a lot of the right info from Maars. He's really up on the game and such. Planets with cities will generally show it on the nav console, "main" screen, regardless of whether they're in known or uncharted space. There are unknowns out there with citys, waiting to be found. For the most part, the main trade city on a planet will be indicated suchly: [+] in green. The other cities, if/when present will be indicated by a + sign, also in green. (Referance: Planet Saphire - one main trade city and two other cities, which do show on the nav con). I have found merely a few of the unknown planet/systems. Cities are few and far between. Generally, if there is a city on a planet, there will be a landing pad/trade dock in the city itself. Haven't found a planetary city without one yet, known or unknown. And except for ease of trade, planets without cities of any kind may still be "worked". Fortune smiles upon you if there is also a trade station somewhere in-system so you can conduct trade operations, after pillaging the cityless planet. Or, you can build-yer-own!

Really? So that would mean, even if you're in the same sector (as, sometimes, cities don't show up until you're in the planet's sector), these cloaked cities don't show up on the navigation map as a plus sign? (Btw, if a city is on a really mountainous planet, the docking bay might possibly be underground ... with just the blinking light poking up to show its location.)

Thanks for the reminder, Marv. Truely. Have seen exactly what you've described. BTW, Al, having the Boss respond to one of your posts.... It's like the court of last resort. Yeah, and there are "cloaked" cities out there, Marv. Sorta like the crates and the other "specials" that have been made available for the finding.

Mama ... I know of at least two dozen planets ... all of which I thought were uninhabited. Including planets in Vonari space. Oik!

hmm gonna have to go back and look around some

yep I was thinking the same thing. Im hopig at the very least they will have the strobe showing where they are. But after quite a bit of exploring, finding more everytime I go out, I don't believe its too worth it. I already have all the rarest items I think.

Well, I've tried exploring a few "uninhabited" planets ... cruising around, planetside, looking for the ILS boxes. So far, no luck.
