Firing order - which empire goes first?

[Fyron]

efender is anyone that was in the sector already. Attacker is someone that just moved into the sector.

Or, if all parties were already in the sector, the Attacker is the one that issues the Attack order. In a Simultaneous game, I would assume that if both players give the attack order at the same time, the lower player number gets to be the attacker.

It seems like at warp points, whoever was there first goes first, but I've seen that not be the case once and a while.

If A warps through and finds B already in the sector, B is the defender and A is the attacker. But if A warps through, and then B moves onto the sector in a later game day, B is the attacker and A is the defender.

What about planet attacks - who gets to launch fighters first? It doesn't really matter, but I am curious.

The planet is generally on the defender side, unless the person owning the planet sends ships in to stop a blockade. Whoever moves first (the defender) is the one that gets to launch fighters first.
