Re: Firing order - which empire goes first?
actually i'm gonna bump this cuz its the single biggest issue with large fleet engagements and balance
as it stands now... people with the xiati shipset (maybe cuz its reverse order alphabetical?, no idea really) or people who are 'lucky' go first
having your WHOLE fleet go first is a HUGE unbalancing problem... (it wouldn't be if you forced fleets to start on opposite sides of the combat arena, but they OFTEN start together and close)
which means that first shot wins, even if you have better ships, and better shields and better guns... which of course is BS
who can we ask about making initiative solely based on ship speed? do any se4 programmer read these threads?
