Turn order in Strategic Combat

[stecal]

What determines who moves first in strategic combat? It seems like my ships always go second no matter whether I iniatiated combat or not. This is especially painfull at warp points where my carriers often get blown up by enemy fire before they even get to launch their fighters. I am player 8 of 8 in a multiplayer, simultaneous game and I would hate to discover that is why I go Last

sorry, but i think that's exactly why you always start Last.

Q: When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?

A: Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.

I hope that this things will be fixed soon ....

Yep, that kind of sucks. Means the enemy will always get in the first shot at warp points both when you are defending and attacking. Painful.

I think it would be a lot better if the attacking empire would get the first move always.

How about individual ship initiative, taking into account +hit bonus (which includes hull type, sensors, racial attributes, experience, and other modifiers), plus perhaps a modifier for traversing a warp point (perhaps a bonus to the defender), plus a random factor?
