Re: Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)
I can't see a sneak attack working in SEIV unless your resources were so low that you NEEDED to mothball your fleet until you attacked.
On a somewhat related note, SEIV really needs what MOO 1 had (and not moo 2) (never played se1-3), which is ship initative and a sort of 'overwatch' mode. Initative is obvious why it would help, but what would help the AI in tactical would be the ability to set your weapons to auto fire at the first dangerous ship that enters your weapon range. This would help minimise the effect of 'wait for the computer to get close, rush into range and bLast' technique.
