suggested teamplay mechanics

from Sins Forums

Can someone explain why these 3 shouldn't be allowed?

1. Allow repair bays to automatically repair allied units, at a level of priority under your own ships.  Currently I need to micro it to repair.

2. Similarly, allow ships to automatically apply buffs to allied units, especially repair ships like the overseer, etc.

3. Allow Vasari allies to share use of your phase stabilizer nodes and travel through them.

That is all.

1) As a toggle option, I like it (first toggle is autocast on yourself, second toggle is autocast on yourself and allies, third toggle turns it back off).  I don't like it being automatic, as I can think of numerous times where anti-matter would be burned up when instead I'm wanting to save it for an impending invasion (or declaration of war ;) ).

2 & 3) Nah - this blurs the lines of technology, and reduces each side's distinctiveness.  That's less fun to me.

I believe that the Marauder's distort gravity works on allies, but I wouldn't swear on my mother's grave or anything.  I seem to remember the carrier's microphasing aura working with allied strikecraft too, but again I could be wrong on that.
