When attacking a planet with 4 moons with 110 ships split into 7 fleets (see "Mine Sweeping Bug" thread), I encountered another strange thing:
My ships were placed at the center of the combat map, together with the planets and the enemy ships - one huge bulk.
Never seen that before. Usually the contrahents start at opposite edges of the map, at least in all the non-simultaneous games I played before.
Are simultaneous games different? Has it something to do with having five planets in the sector?
This behaviour somewhat defeats my strategy, as it's almost like warp point combat, putting me as the attacker at disadvantage.
Anyone willing to enlighten me?
