anyone else restart there games when they get a bad starting position?

i can't stand being stuck on a small island, or surrounded by fungus.
 
Hi evirus,

About the only time I restart is if I start too close to another faction. I like to play on really large maps with lots of room to expand.

Do you play SMAX (Alien Crossfire)? If so, there's a technique for getting better starting positions, especially on larger maps. Start a game, open the scenario editor (Ctrl + K) and save the map. Now start a new game and load that map file. Starting a game this way makes it much less likely that you (or the AI) will start on a small island. This tip works only for SMAX, not SMAC.

Can't you also obliterate your base and self-destruct the rest in order to get a respawn (assuming do or die is off)

Yes, but it's considered an exploit, since by doing so you get a free former and double the usual number of starting ECs.
