Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups

I have a question regarding traveling to other planets... how am I not going to be terrified to leave my home planet and main base behind, when it is almost certainly under constant siege by biters and I know I won't be able to get back quickly should a breach occur?? Seems like this will make me ve...
