Default Fleet Experience Poll

The purpose of this poll is to acquaint Aaron with a "supposed" area of difficulty he may not be aware of.

It has to do with your thoughts on having YOUR fleet with fleet experience disappear if you accidentally remove the Last ship from the fleet.

If enough people find it requires Aarons attention, I will submit it to him like I did on the strategies poll.

Edit: I have set this poll for 2 weeks.

Re-Edit: For those who may want more information on what prompted this poll, you can access this thread:

There is no option for "I think the user should be more careful when playing the game."

My own feeling is that we have enough to be careful about in the game without having to be extraordinarily careful about transfering ships between fleets.

To those players who seldom suffer the loss of a fleet, I would imagine it doesn't matter.

It may even be an advantage as it handicaps the player who does make the mistake more often and of course has no opportunity to correct it without having to restart the game.

It doesn't take that much effort to not clear a fleet of all ships.

I would much rather have Aaron work on more important things than this though.

I think it is for Aaron to decide what is important or not and what is easy for him to do or not.

Not for us to decide for him.

All we are doing is trying to communicate to him that some of the players may have a difficulty with a part of the game. After that, it is up to him to decide whether to do something about it or not.

Well, he only has so much time. He can't work on everything.

So you are now his work scheduler?

If so, I would be interested in knowing who appointed you?

I fail to see how being realistic makes me his work scheduler....
