I disagree with the part about warp points. When you go thru one you never know what is on the other side. therefore when you go thru and the other player has defenses set up on warp point it only makes sense that he would get lst shot. That's why you should send in scout see what defenses and their strenght before you send thru your fleet. This forces you to reorganize your fleets to meet and defeat his defenses. As for reg combat in systems, I always notice that it doesn't matter who fires first, its who moves into range lst. Therefore who comes in range lst, fires first. I would suggest you use tactical at least for large or important battles that way you could move so you always would get the lst shot.

just some ideas mac
