Planet Type Percentages?

Is it random or are certain planets harder to get to pop up? I just busted 28 planets and did not get the type that I wanted. Shouldn't even 1 have popped up in 28 since there are only 6 types of planets? I got several of EVERY kind except an O. How freakin' frustrating.

If it's a gold planet, that seems to be the best way to do it. _________________ Infecting others with a Polymorphic Virus since 1975. Curing ignorance and terminal stupidity since 1999.

Additionaly, most Sysops build gold planets off a similar planet type. If instead they where to start with the oceanic and modify the 1st new planet off that, then the 2nd new planet type off the 1st one etc.. then the gold planets become increasingly harder to produce. _________________ C.E.O.

I have a 7...they're all the same. The key is not to tell anyone. _________________ Velocity "We are Dyslexia of Borg. Your Butt will be Laminated"
