I have no idea how planetary defenses work. I had some defensive ships stationed at my home planet, and when the AI attacked, my ships weren't
included in the combat - only the unprotected planet and the attacking ship! The game is less intuitive than Stars! I'm afraid the person that
has spent the most time experimenting with the game will become the de-facto winner - just because he understands the game interface best! How best to bring everyone up to speed?
Thank you!
