Re: Suicidal Ships?
They sat there and took it for *7 combats*. getting picked off one-by-one. Simultanious game, and I gave them a move order, not attack.

Re: Suicidal Ships?
Is it possible one of them took a hit in the first combat of the new turn that slowed the whole fleet down to a crawl (bridge, life support, or crew quarters)?

Re: Suicidal Ships?
It would have to have taken out all the ship's engines to do that, given that they were only one sector away.possible though.
Oh well. If this wasn't a Proportions game, I think I'd go back in with a bunch of planetary napalm and PDCs..

Re: Suicidal Ships?
I think if you lose your bridge, speed drops to one, which would mean the fleet would have to Last practically the whole strategic turn before it moved to the homeworld. I think losing life support and crew quarters each halve speed, as well. (Each condition either halves or slows to 1, but I don't remember which does which.) So, that would be my guess.

Re: Suicidal Ships?
Losing Bridge:
1/2 movement.
Losing all crew quarters:
1/2 movement.
Losing all lifesupport:
1/4 movement.
Being able to decimate a fleet because you crippled the leader's movement:
Priceless.

ROFLOL Oh that's classic SJ. I love it. Someone should make a whole list of stuff like that for the SEIV universe. That'd be great. I'll if I can come up with some myself.

There's your problem. In a simultaneous game, you have to use the Attack order to enter a sector containing hostiles; ships with the Move order will just stop (or sometimes "dance" back and forth between two adjacent sectors). The only exception I can think of is when you move through a warp point and run into defenders which the moving ships didn't know were there.
