Whos on first when it comes to firing?

[dogscoff]

Maybe... Having ships go first could be a good thing, since they can gain experience and units cannot.

I think if a change were to to be made the only satidfactory one would be some system where the player defines the order (maybe a bit like repair priorities?), but that has the potential to be nightmarishly complicated and I don't think it's likely to get implemented.
