Which combat round do you use for Spacemaster?

Curious if there's a different trend on the SM end from the RM version of this poll I posted over at:

I use the same method as in RM.

Roll Initiative
Declare Actions (lowest to highest)
Resolve any Action Conflicts
Resolve Actions (highest to lowest)
Clean up

I use SM2, because that's what I play While the multiple fire phases can make for very lengthy rounds, it does underline the danger that modern weapons pose, never mind futuristic ones. The down side is that unless you're very slick on combat, it means that those individuals who ony get to act once per round like melee people and teeps, can get quite bored. Especially if you have a PC maniac doing a spray burst attack on 5 separate targets with his machine gun. Twice.

Edit: Oh, except I don't know how to do an orientation roll. Generally those usually come down to is me rolling the dice and then deciding if allowing the mooks to act will kill, rather than challenge the PCs.

For my upcoming demo at Winter Fantasy I may suspend the Deliberate and Snap phases so I don't confuse the players with an extra axis to measure their tactical decisions.

So far the trend looks similar to the RM poll.

SM:P  I found enjoyable.  Been playing RMSS for ten years...took awhile to  realize the differences between the two...but found them more flexible to my players game style then RMSS.
