Default Re: Any more bug reports?

Quote:

" 3.) Multiplayer
In a multiplayer battle the topmost player of the player list will always move and fire first in a battle. To be added Last to a game (and therefore be at the bottom of the list) is a huge disadvantage in a multiplayer warp point battle.
Solution: A solution would be to make the defenders (i.e. all ships already present in the sector) always move and fire first. If more then one “defender” is present, let the first “mover” be chosen randomly."


IMO this it the BIGGEST of the 'bugs', bigger than the 'intell bug'...We need an system of 'who goes first' based on ship speed/size/experience/and a random factor..Even the makers of Moo2 had to put out a patch with this type of system, otherwise, all things being 'equal' the topmost player will ALWAYS outfight you in multiplayer. Hence no real point in even playing!
