Boom! Well, I didn't get a 40 PQ planet, but a 38 PQ at the start. The strategy for playing with one planet at this high PQ is really different. You leave the tax slider at 100% for a while but the spend rate has to be down around 4-8% or your expenses quickly overpower you. But, Sol can still put out things in one turn. The other planets all suffer, taking 10 turns to do soil improvement, for example. With this type of game, you want to run both production and research in parallel since production and research procede at a normal rate (for Earth). You can research twice as much actually in a half hour. The game took about 35 minuts and everyone was at "close" almost a year before 2190. Had several wars that were averted,except for losing my exploration ship, Hero, but haveing all the other AIs go to war with the one that started war with me. He soon sued for peace.
Strange game. I will go write down the options that I selected with the Reserach, Inc political party. Maybe some of you can experience a starting 40 PQ planet (it is not PQ when you start, but when you have finished all the setup).

| No, the planet I started with was PQ 20. |
|
That is normal. With PQ +5 from picks and PQ +5 from party, you have an pire wide PQ bonus of 10. Which means that base PQ for Earth was 19.
| After I set the sliders was when it suddenly became PQ 38, befor hitting the turn button |
|
I haven't heard of such thing before. It really smells like a bug, having +100% PQ bonus in turn 1.
Could you check, the next time, the empire wide PQ bonus and the planetary PQ bonus when this kind of thing happen.
The only thing that could make sense is triggereing the precursor event that change the base PQ to 35. In this case, 35 + 10% => 38, which is the PQ you have experienced.

|
| The only time I've seen I really high PQ was a 36 (starting value) |
|
Are you sure it is 36 and not 26. The max base PQ for uncolonized planet not triggered by an event (+X PQ to surounding uncolonized planets) I have seen is 26.

I don't think the +10PQ from the picks affects your base planet.
| |
|
Also, I was not able to duplicate the event.

What do you mean? I am pretty sure that Earth (without any PQ bonus) range from 15 to 20. When you have 10% PQ bonus, you can get a class 22 Earth. But it is PQ 20 + 10% since you are already on it.

I've gotten PQ22 planets with out using mods.
