a blockade strategy. a fleet goes to a planet kills all of its defenses but after the defenses are down the ships just blockade the planet. this would be very useful when trying to force another empire to surrender but they wont. Jst blockade their Last planet and just wait. they cant do anything.

Oh yes, I remember JIMBOB doing a poll like that.

Yah, and then I did the stupidest thing ever...
procrastinated.

I've still got all the data though.
Should I resurect the final analysis for y'all?

Couldn't you do this by creating a custom strategy where the ships/fleet only damage the planet to a certain amount (say 75-80%) then pull back?

Definitely casting in my $.02 in favor of making trait requirements and restrictions work in racialtraits.txt. Definitely has my vote. I'll even send in an actual two cents if it will help

What were the final results of the poll Jimbob?

Yea I like to see tha Poll jimbob. I like to vote in it too. There are a lot of good suggestion in this thread. Just as there are a lot that are really more SEV type enhancements. Be nice if we could give MM a nice short doable list of things we'd like.

And based on a current game here is one: Satelite placement. Aren't these things supposed to orbit a planet? Please please please don't place my 100 satellites a mile away on the opposite side of the planet from the attack.

spread em out a bit.
