Firing order - which empire goes first?

Yeah, what if 2 fleets have intercept orders for each other?

Then it depends on when they meet, and who is faster.

The lower numbered player's ships seem to move first in strategic movement, so maybe the lower numbered player becomes the attacker when both fleets are the same speed.

But, it gets fuzzy. If the fleets start an even number of sectors away, they can pass each other by, as they will both move into the next sector over on the same day. If they are an odd number apart, then they will meet.

And I think I recall, that combat doesn't happen on every day of the month, that should complicate defender/attacker decision also.

It's always the evil guys playing the Xiati shipset (why does the Xiati shipset always win?) trying to wipe out all other races who go first

Because that's Askan Nightbringer's preferred shipset.

Askan Nightbringer? Never heard of him

Oh, and is it the case that whichever side goes first, all their ships get to shoot before the other side even gets one shot off? That's the way it seems, since all the battles in DimensionX 2 are rather lopsided! I guess so, since that's the way it is in tactical combat what a ripoff
