Default Re: A few humble supplications to MM

"3. As some other poster mentioned earlier, when planets rebel, the troops on planet go over automatically. It would be nice to have ships and units, remember which planet/system created them, so if a planet/system rebels,
the unit will engage units created on planets not in rebellion, and vice versa, non-local(and non-rebellious) troops on a planet would stay loyal and attempt to supress the rebellion, fighting the rebel troops.(This would give more reason to ground troops)
In addition, ships from rebel planets, would desert their fleets and attempt to come home to join the rebeliion, with race agressiveness determining how much damage they do on the way home(if they make it)."
Sounds interesting, but you have to consider:
a. If the ship(s) or troop(s) have been away a while, and are out of sync with the planet, they might not rebel. Consider the Civil War. Just because someone was from the North didn't mean they were an abolitionist.
b. If a ship or troop that was in the system (not from that planet that rebels), they might go along because they know the planet's woes well, esp. if they have spent some time there.
Just pointing things out
