Strategic vs. Tactical

[Jubala]

I agree about the post battle viewer. I have been told that we'll be able to see if any surviving enemy ships where damaged so I won't wish for that again.

As for fighting tactical combats in MP, it could be done if a LAN play option was added. You actually connect to other games running on other computers in a LAN and play. Sim turns would probably work best but I know some people would want turnbased as well. As soon as combat occurs the players involved are taken to tactical mode an dukes it out. During game setup there could be options like, nonfighting players watch, only allow tactic combat between humans, always allow tactic combat or never allow tactic combat.

This would of course mean massive coding of network code so I really don't think it will happen. I don't really know if I want it to happen either. I'm just saying it could be done.

The battle report lists each ship that was in the battle and what % damage was taken or if it was destroyed.

There isn't a post-battle replay. I wish there was myself. I did like that about Stars!

Actually, it *is* possible to use Tactical combat in MP, at least in the v0.56 demo. But only if you set the game up as "Hot-Seat" rather than email. Hence, the comment below about LAN games makes very good sense...

Yeah, but you'd hav to customize the most tactics and formations for you're self becasue in many cases I found that the strategic AI control of you're ships is really bad.
