The funniest thing about "It's funny how the real experience over this game might be the first one" is I just did my first run and got a Gaian planet and a 12600 score, which I have to imagine is hilarious odds.
Them's definitely some long odds... my runs are all between 8K and 9.5K and they feel pretty good - I even got a Gaia planet once (on my worst luck seedship) - so I feel like your fortune was definite in your favour!
