Default A new expression for game startings

Guys. I am not trying to get my nick in a sign or anything.

But I have noticed that I have started just about every game with a bad set up.

Ie. I take Rock / Oxg.

And there are an abundance of Ice / CD planets

So next game I switch to Rock / CD and there are tons of rock / oxg planets.

I do not want to even mention what happens when i pick hydrogen.

P.S. when I take the none atmosphere... moons are lacking.
Then when you go exploring the surrounding systems you get some systems with rocks arranged in a nice circle design around the sun ( Astroids ), the nebula system or the black hole system.. Lucky of course there are two of them for you to go threw before you stumble upon a system with one tiny planet for you to colonize ( wrong atmospehre )
I would like to call a really bad starting the 'Tesco Start'.

Those who know me hear me complain about it all the time.

The odd time I do get the ' Fyron Start '.

THose games are A55 kicking.

You know

2 extra breathable planets in your home system. followed by great surrounding systems...

Tesco, you must call our KOTH a "fyron start" as you were first to the system with 3 large hydrogen.

Why am I so special as to get a start named after me?
