This should have been a poll, a bar graph of Favorites would have been nice. I expected someone to shoot down rock/oxygen for some reason I'd missed. Instead, it seems pretty popular.

Actually that is exactly why I would shoot it down... Too many people take it. You lose trading leverage for breathers to trade when you have the same atmosphere as 75% of the other races in the game... |

I tend to play oxygen rock when I play as the Juprups. Otherwise I try to mix it up.

Yeah but, if everybody knows that rock/oxy is common ... and doesn't take it ... then it becomes a good thing to take again ...see? |

And if everyone knows this and takes Oxygen, hoping to be the odd one out... see? It is meaningless... |

Re: Which planet/atmosphere type do YOU pick ?
I rarely play the same race twice in a row, so it usually changes from game to game.

Re: Which planet/atmosphere type do YOU pick ?
Most of the time, I pick oxygen-rock, too. I think it's just because I like those familar blue-white earth-like planets, they give me the comfortable feeling that I could live on them and breathe the air. One in a while, I pick something else at random just for variety.  |

Re: Which planet/atmosphere type do YOU pick ?
I usually take Rock/Methane... because purple is so much nicer than green or orange, and rock/oxy is too common (again, lost trading potential)

I believe that size matters, so Gas/CO2 or H2.
