Default Re: Attacking with no movement points

Good point about the starbases not needing movement points, forgot completely about them

But the type of exploit i meant was exactly the kind u mentioned, sending one ship at a time or a a few ships in several waves to overwhelm the enemy on the SAME turn.

Even if u arent using missile ships this sort of abuse can still be done, any ship that will inflict some damage and survive a round of combat will do. Every new wave of ships gets to have the other waves help them out, till all ships run short on resources and cant move far enough in 30 turns to get within range to inflict damage

There is a problem you can run into with the one ship at a time strategy. If your weapons are big supply Users the first ships in could end up out of supply. Later in the game, after quantum reactor are available, this isn't much of a problem but in the early stages it can happen.
