Default Re: Patch 1.71 Balance Concern

I don't know, I don't think there's any good reason to limit units to one launch per turn. Doesn't make much sense to me, and it's a bad idea to cripple one part of the game just to fix another.

The combat issue was probably accidental...

The once per turn launch limit was instituted to prevent an exploit where you could gain unlimited unit movement.

I realize that, but I'd rather there be some better way to fix it than setting up gameplay restrictions that we'll probably come to regret later.

Just give units an integer to keep their movement points or something instead, and have it refill on a new turn( like regular ships) instead of on dock/launch.

Speaking of units, we could need some sort of mechanism to move units on the same turn as they're launched( in the strategic window) when playing in simultaneus turns mode.
