eet is always here

I think movement would look prettier, but just zooming in on bombers and flying around with the is enough for me. That's not my problem.

My problem is that intensive micro tactical movement makes a hell of a difference in combat. I can take out a Kodiak with 2 cobalts by continuing to make circles with my damaged cobalt while the other presses the attack. In my last game vs computer there was a battle in a grav well 10 on 10 cobalts, where I was victories without losses, by rotating my damaged ships in n out of combat range.

Micro makes a huge difference, it looks prettier, and need not be intensive to be effective. What would really be amazing is simple combat maneuvers template creation gui thingy. But thats not happening without expansion or huge mod, so lets just remember that the improved AI and fleets mechanics are supposed to resolve my issues.

Finally, I've been discussing this for some time, and keep finding I'm just talking to myself.

Since I wasn't aware of that, I take back what I made mentioned.

Move would be cool, even if you could have your ships set to automatically perform certain movements. (ie Star Trek = attack sequence Delta) Having ships concentrate on a single point on the ship should destroy it easier right, so why not have it so you can set your ships to attack in certain patterns, and defend in the same. This would keep the people that want their ships to move, and it would also keep the amount of movement low for peoples PCs.

In most sci-fi shows/movies etc, you always have the captain moving the ship to have the stronger side face the incoming enemy fire.

Wow, thats like less then one cent



Dont thank them just yet, I wanna see the Advent before any thanking happens.

Hehe. Perhaps we'll earn it in on the next title   

I dont want to micro in this game, simple as that. Games can last couple hours, you think I want to be forced to micro EVERY battle for couple of hours? Omg I'm fighting the local militia, oh no I better get over there and micro pronto or they will destroy my capital ship.

weeeell... some tactics require more micro than others. If you try double Dunovs, micro. If you want to embargo him to death... not so much.

2 dunovs equals = fail, but only later in the game, but what if its three or four. All high levels?

I fear for the safety of my Kols.

Which makes them very good... on smaller maps.

There are fleets and you can determine how spread out the ships in your fleet get from one another.

Yeah, I seem to remember it hanging in the balance for a while... and that it would have easily gone the other way if I'd only taken the dead asteroid before you did...

For a mod, people might be able to create very 3-d battles. Fighters love moving around while attacking. Translated: If you could make normal ships be treated as "fighters" than they would move around.

Biggest setback is sins probably does not support too-many ships doing this.
