Default Re: Starbase tactics

Making the planet transparent would still leave the problem of attacking from the "long" side of the base, that is, w/the added space of the planet b/t you and the base.

I'm no gaming expert but might there be some way to place the base directly on top of the planet and have the computer use that location as the focal point for range calculations - maybe making the computer think a base is similiar to a WP? Maybe changing the classification of all Bases to units w/a size of 0 and the displacemnt of 0 so as to not take up space in a planet's cargo hold,instead of labeling em as ships?

Just some thoughts - anything would be better than what we have now - and while they're at it, do something w/satelites - same problem as bases as far as planet defense goes, just out manuever em.
