SE5 - Strategies

[Antonin]

I think the option to retreat would be great. Too often, combat in SE4 is an all or nothing thing. One fleet or the other is wiped out, and combat ends. I think a fleet should automatically disengage once its strength is worn down to a certain point.

how about if you can STEAL the scripts via intel!!!!!
(and even ship capture)

I dooubt we will have to worry to much about them becomming "cookycutter" type things, since the game is to fluid, your going to want to use a diferent stratergie for glassing plannets than you would if you wanted to capture it or blockade it. same with WP. are you going throug the wp or blockadeing it? its going to be diferent. then your probibly going to want to change it slighly depending on what empire your expecing to come throuhg the wp. are they using APB? nulspace? missiles? ppb? *gulp* are they armed with computer viruses? are they using more shields or more weapons?
