[edit] New content

Added more planets (at least ones that are surveyable and provide reward. I left out inert planets you can't survey or land on.

Should we add ships here? There are a lot of ships that you can survey or board. KChristley 22:19, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I would add ships to starships with maybe a note here to alert people that crafts to be landed on are found at the starhsip article. --avfanatic (talk) 00:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Roger that. I'll list the ones you can get stuff from there. Thanks for the quick reply! :) KChristley 01:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other Planets

Are we adding planets that are mentioned in the game or in the book, but that are not in the galaxy map? For instance, I added Shanxi, but there are also the various homeworlds, as well as the planets in the skyllian verge. Maybe we could categorize the planets by region/cluster (atleast for those we know of). Io Dragone 01:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

If it's in the Mass Effect universe and has enough content to worth it's own page, then absolutely. Categorization by cluster would probably be best after we have the full list and can then direct people to Category:Planets for an alphabetical list. --avfanatic (talk) 02:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

if you become a soul survivor in the game, you are the only survived member of the team that has landed on Akuze. (whell, somewhere in the game another survivor named Toombs shows up). should Akuze be listed here?

[edit] Explorable locations

There should probably be a seperate page, linked to by here, asteriods, and moons, summarizing explorable locations including all types, since that is what many will intend when searching for 'planets'. E.g., the 'Asteroid X57 is not a planet' scenario. 64.53.58.247 09:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Format

I really like the new organisation of this page, but maybe we should sort out a template for background worlds (Elysium, Shanxi, Akuze) and homeworlds (Thessia, Palaven) as well? : ) Seems a shame to just stick them under 'other'. --Tullis 11:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I can certainly put something together for them. Let me give it some thought. -- DRY 11:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indentify planets you can land on

Some planets'names you can land on are not italicized on this page or on the respective cluster pages, like Maji, Antibaar and Casbin. I would put them in italic myself if I knew how, but since I don't, I am posting this message here. Darkdrium 04:15, 26 July 2008 (UTC) EDIT: I believe the full list includes four planets that need to be italicized: Maji, Antibaar, Casbin and Klensal Darkdrium 04:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for the heads up. -- DRY 04:33, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Home Worlds

The salarian home world was never mentioned, but may have been alluded to by Administrator Anoleis. He doesn't like colonists or spacers, and he makes mention of his home world being clean and poverty free. I'm not sure if it should be on the list (without official sources) but it seems to me that the salarian home world is Rannadril. Thoughts? -Ninsegtari 12:34, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd have to go ahead and call that one speculation. From what I've seen, he talks down to you no matter what your background is (Colonist, Spacer or Earth-born), so it seems to me to be more of a thing he has against humans. And yes, without official sourcing, it won't get included. SpartHawg948 21:09, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
