Do you guys quit early or keep playing?

I quit early if my start pos is absolutely abysmal. I once ended up in a constellation filled with barren, lava and gas giant worlds with a few artic and desert planets thrown in. Otherwise I only quit early when a game starts to get tedious.

Most of the time I'll keep playing regardless of whether it'll end in victory or defeat.

Sometimes I'll create some goal that I think is important and quit just because I didn't accomplish it, though those games are in the minority

I quit early to keep things interesting, by end game your ships beat any template the AI uses; it just turns into a grind of your uberships vs. 20billion magically made AI fleets.

quit early when it's clear I've won

but I keep playing if it seems there will be a challenge or that I might even loose.. thats when it gets interesting.

and I restart when the game hates me and I have a one planet starting region again (1 planet in the starting system and no other system reachable in 2 turns with my colonyship)

I only picked up the game a few days ago and I'm still getting into the swing of things, so I have been quitting early when I'm getting rolled hard ><

But sometimes the AI will do weird stuff, like once it just randomly offered me peace even though that turn it just took out my main fleet XD

If I'm versus AI players I'll continue as I just want to play. Versus human players, and if it's clear that I'm at a loss, then I'll ask for a defeat, because continuing would mean that I'm waiting them to do some bad mistake (and that wouldn't be honorable.)

I started playing like that when I started paying go. It's a bad thing to continue playing when you have clearly lost, just waiting some bad mistake from your opponent.

I tend to keep playing, even if victory isn't an option. But if the AI keep spawn fleets by the hundreds, of course I quit early.

I have a very small amount of patience if I know I'm going to lose. I'm the same in all strategy games, if I know I'm going to lose, I'd rather just start a new game and try a new strategy.

Given it's still an alpha it depends a lot on what I'm trying to achieve. I quit nearly the first 5 games early since I had to get used to the game and to fins all important management spots. After that I only quit early when I'm fed up (to boring or whatever). Didn't found myself in the situation to lose, have yet to experience that, since I already won 2 games and am able to win normal with ease I gotta try a higher difficulty soon.

If I would play with other humans (never really did that before in another 4X) I would probably let the decision to others, fine with stopping upon a clear result, but also fine with trying to keep going.

I keep playing unless the odds are really, really bad as I am not l33t like so many people in here and I actually lose by being in an eternal war with a craver faction

I normally keep playing. If I know it'll just be a mop up, I get this idea in my head to leave splinters behind to watch out and be sentry like. Which drives me to hunt and murder them all. But that's just me.
