To reload or not to reload.

[lurah]

Ok, after deciding to attack againts some ship your brains just messages "bad mistake" and pretty soon after,youre dead.

Do you reload and start same game from previous station where you were before that "big mistake" decision or choose new game?
Or do you reload even after noticing you have done bad business etc.?

Personally, ill save on every station, every time but just because of power cuts, bugs (none this far alltho), or maybe real life thing cuts my game suddenly. But if i die because of i try to catch too big "fish" or do some stupid business (buy wrong stuff, or stupid contract for delivering etc.) i have to live with it on game.

So, i dont like to fix things with reloading. Makes more exciting to play. But naturally this aint right, alltho wrong either, way to play. How you buddys use reload?

I die and then I start from the last place I saved.

As for doing stupid things (although I normally don't revert to the last save when I do things like that, more realistic I think) and expeirments I again just go back to the last place I saved.

I don't remember doesn't the game automatically take you back to the last save? I haven't died for a while (no I'm not bragging I just haven't done that risky of stuff lately).

I used to reload often when i just started and i needed money to buy new ships and equipment, but since i bought Supercobra i don't need it anymore so i don't restore even if my NEU is damaged. Even more, i use escape pod sometimes. A good rule to resist suicidal temptations: if you let yourself killed, don't play anymore until tomorrow
