Default Re: SE5 - Strategies

I would like to see it set up as scripts. That you can save and post for other players to see.

Perhaps have them based on situations.

IE. Initial contact... Fleet moves to scan range.

If the enemy has missles then the pdc ships move up to protect.

If your ships figure out that they will be destroyed then they retreat.

Stuff like that. But I think the key would be a script based system that you can save the strategies for future games and trade them.

Perhaps also you could have a fleet have a primary stragety and then secondary ones if the primary one cannot work in the current siutation.

This would allow players to get as detailed as possible in a combat situation or as little as possible and use some default strategies.

I think that the basis of the stragety should be based on fleet engagements.

With the option of giving some individual ship strageties to use when they are alone or if the c&c losses control of the battle or when the command act independenty is given.

This would give it a better feel than under the current situation where everyone has fleets break formation upon contact. Which i feel is not to realistic for fleet combat.

What do you think of this system Aaron.
