Re: Psst, over here, I got the latest patch status... shhhh

I'd still like to know what happens (post patch) if you have a half-finished CI project, stop adding points to it, and get hit by an intel offensive. Will the CI project work or not?

Re: A better system for combat

I like the idea of defenders going first, defenders being the ones who sit still on the warppoint, attackers the ones who try to break through. I also like the idea of simply separateing the fleets...

Re: Tell me WHAT instead of WHO are in a fleet!

My "workaround" for now is that I always make sure my ships names are identical to class names. Of course that means I have to manually rename every ship after every retrofit...

Baal,

Re: Psst, over here, I got the latest patch status... shhhh
