what do you do when you spawn?

[Capt ARGH!]

when i spawn i type ?status.



as i've mentioned before, if something isn't 100% and i don't have especially nice toys, i ship change. i don't usually bother greening to try to hit a rotation or speed etc.







this poll is here to find out if others do the same. and if there's plenty of us doing this, may i suggest a change in config so that we just start with a full ship instead?



i dont mind about energy, i'll keep a ship and green if its all 100% but >1400 NRG.



again as i've mentioned before

i'll sometimes shipchange when i run out of toys because its easier than greening in low pops with few greens

I go on a spree and spawn again in the next reset. I don't understand why people bother with dying =P

Don't rely on toys.

Also the key to staying alive, is not dying. Keep that in mind.



if you just HAVE to have toys then GREEEEEEEN.



from your posts it just seems like you want to recreate dz-like zone with toys. Lazy lazy lazy! now go green.

one aspect of what i said was related to toys. this is about ship status not toys. not how lazy i am. and i'm not: i get large bountys because i green and dont die for long periods like anypone else.



there's a difference between being 'lazy' and seeing that there's no point to greening when i could just hit ship change instead.



greening is not something i enjoy. if you enjoy tidying up or doing the dishes, great! i'm happy for you. flying around collecting tiny cubes is a waste of gaming time, to me. i'm happy to green in the hope of picking up a full charge or what have you during a fight to gain the upper hand, or to collect toys in between battles, but flying around hoovering greens looking for a rotation green is just.. well like stacking box's or something. whats the point? i'de rather hit ship change.



but... this thread is not about that, its not me saying: change the greening system, it's about what we, all of us do, when we spawn. its about me saying: dudes it would be better if we spawned with full ships would it not?



ps. if were talking lazy. you didnt even vote! how lazy is that! <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



pps. yes i do have to have toys!! they're fun and i try to use them with skill... but usually just fuck up and die... hence the need for a fullship when i spawn!!!



ppps. and yes a dz-zone with toys is probably closer to what i want than chaos is right now.

I voted for "play on" as that's what I do most of the time. But to qualify, sometimes I'll sc, and sometimes I'll avoid everyone while greening off a lack of ?status. But I usually just play on.



Lack of prox is the thing that gets me to sc the most.

funny, if my ship is all good, i'll trend to try and green prox myself. its actually kind of fun just using bullets (focuses my ninja skill) until i green a prox.



yesterday was a case in point, i made 4 kills before i hit a prox. funny thing was i greened to something like 185bty before i got a prox ... so annoying! and then died straight away <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':p' />





HOWEVER: it is NOT fun for me to try and fight with slow rotation or speed or recharge. if my ship is good apart from a rotation of 98% i'll play that ship and try to green a rotation.

just looked at the number of views this thread has got.. over 80. but only 3 votes. its a shame because if people actually voted we would know what players did and could use that as evidence for the need for change, or the contrary.



i guess it's a whole bunch of guests that cant be bothered to become members. i mean how hard is that question to answer?

a number of the thread views would be from TW / EG / HS / DSB players who see the new topic on the front page of the forums, read it, then realise its about good subspace and leave
