So, what's that "Space Ponies" achievement award all about? Or is it just to keep people from achieving 100%?

I was none the wiser of what the hell it was [...] I still am none the wiser...

Thus is the mystery of the space ponies.

And the Lord said, 'There shallt be Space Ponies'.

Quoting Apheirox,
And the Lord said, 'There shallt be Space Ponies'.

and there were Space Ponies. but only few people discovered their existance and returned safe to the Earth to tell the story in the Internet forum.

I actually saw the Space Ponies as being listed as a planetary enhancement for the first time ever during a 1v1 a month ago.  After 1500+ games, I finally found them.

So we need to interogate the devs on the mystery of Space ponies...Who the Vasari's enemy is(And who stole their losenges)...And What TDN means...Did I miss anything?

I never found them...But a friend did(Well, my friend's roomate and he piggybacked it off him by taking the planet)  It was a random huge map.

In any given game, there is  a chance of 0.1% of finding them according to its entity file. You might be dissappointed to know that it was probably on one of those planets that you didn't bother colonizing because you already won.

Apparently there is a 10% chance to find them on your first game. Or a fat lot of you are liars. I don't care which, because I found it on my first game >:}

So actually finding the space ponies is like winning the "Daily 3" lottery.

Your chances are about 4 times as good as that, but that's the best analogy I've heard regarding it.

Well I just found the old pink poofs.  I was playing the star wars galaxy map and they were on mon calamari, so i guess it is just a random achievement.  Although you do need to fully explore the planet to find them

It does not say nanites on the back of the case.  It does not say what their enemy is anywhere, but I do believe that it is the nanites because of the clues given.

LOL, I found them for my first time, I'm assuming from sheer luck because I believe there is no "correct" way to find them other then to search planets.

 

Shame there is no Space Ponies flying around my planet. <img src=" width="1024" height="768" />

Blargh!  >=[

I found the space ponies during my first game ever and to date they have been the only thing I could brag about to my college roommate who got me into Sins in the first place.  Two weeks ago my laptop died and I was forced to get a new one.  Since achievements do not transfer, I no longer possess the space ponies achievement.  THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!

But I am determined.  I will find them again!

Found them on my first game of beta, but didn't get the achievement, even got a screenie.

Mind you i had two lines of Space Ponies on the planet i found them on, so did i get two?

Way to necro.

So now that you have two of them, are you going to start breeding them?

A little reality is actually quite cleansing.

Being stuck in a rut where all the problems repeat themselves because you're too stubborn or scared to let go of the past is pretty unhealthy. Now if only we could teach that to politicians...
