Bad luck, but you've plenty more where they came from!

Is this one free to colonise?

[Natmus]

I have a colony ship going for it, so I should hope not.

[Natmus]

Isle colonised and renamed Hjelm.

[SkulkrinBait]

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

Just don't ask me how the fifth attempt on Delta went

[inyati]

Go GO Go Morkin!
And go 6th attempt too

[SkulkrinBait]

Jesus what are the odds on that?! I've seen four attempts fail, when someone tried to colonise Mitharg I think it was a while back.

50% per time so, by maths:

1st attempt 50/50
2nd attempt 75/25
3rd " " " 87.5/12.5
4th = 93.75/6.25
5th = 96.875/3.125

Of course each attempt is 50/50 regardless, but the odds for 6 attempts to fail in a row is: 1.50625/100

I think.

Are you sure there aren't other factors involved?
