You were asked – TMP link

What do you use for terrain when gaming with starship minis?

21% said "starfield gaming mat"
17% said "black cloth with star spots/splashes"
13% said "black cloth/black felt"

The topic name is an interesting choice. A majority of respondents do not use a starfield gaming mat. Rather, a majority of respondents mentioned in the original post use some form of black cloth.

Even taken together, however, all of the respondents mentioned in the original post are just 51% of total respondents. Giving the original poster the benefit of the doubt, I assume that the other 49% are divided into categories smaller than 13%.

I might have gone with a less misleading headline of "Space Gaming Terrain? TMP Somewhat Prefers Black Cloth."

I missed this poll. I use an hold hex mat from GeoHex with the nebula and stars, but I have also made my own asteroids.

I have been discussing with a friend of mine about making better terrain for the hobby.

"Giving the original poster the benefit of the doubt, I assume that the other 49% are divided into categories smaller than 13%."

About 36% of the responses were variations of "I don't play space minis games".
