Hi new time member long time fan of the game.
Ever since I downloaded the newest version of the Ultimate edtiion. I have noticed a sharp decrease in 12+ 'non extreme' planets. All the good ones seem to be extreme colonization types.. I have tried it on all the settings for that catagory and still seem to have no 12+ regular planets. Attached is an example..Extreme is set on occasional. Even the purple stars are all EC and their quality has decreased as well.

Any help would be appreciated.
