Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once
The shift and move/attack method is only good in a turn-based game not a simultenous game. Also it only works for ships/fleets in the same sector. (sort of like a informal fleet)

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once
...and it only seems to work properly if ALL ships / fllets can get to the enemy occupied sector in 1 turn. IOW, if it takes more than 1 turn to get there, on the second turn they all switch back to as if you had moved them idividually (when using the 'shift move' method'.
Methinks it could solve most of this issue if we could assign multiple fleets to a larger group (lets call them 'battle group' for lack of a better term). Then you could move the battle group to an enemy occupied sector. And then, you could assign different strategies to different fleets.
I know this has been discussed before, but it may be the solution to this particular problem (especially in games that require strategic battles). ...and I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement, however I'm quite sure its not a 'moddable' item.

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once
battle Groups would be cool, but what I'm thinking is have one fleet attack from one side while another comes in from behind. The fleet attacking from behind being from a different sector then the one attacking from the front. This would allow for better flanking actions and more militaristic tactics.

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once
Chewy, you're asking for tactical combat to be tactical
It would be cool to come in from both sides, I can see my buddies face as I take out all his support ships in the first round of combat! |

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once
Chewy, I've noticed when two AI controlled fleets attack from different sectors, the strat combat screen will show the fleets on the appropriate sides of the screen. So, you may be able to do this if you attack at the same time from seperate sectors.
