Combat Suggestion
Published on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 By
I am currently at war with the Drath Freehold. The screen snapshot below shows that they have 92 Snipers stacked-up in one cell (it was 93 before I killed one and decided to write this post). Under the current combat rules, I need to attack each one of the Snipers individually because they are not combined into one or more fleets. This is incredibly slow and tedious! I recommend that you adopt one or more of the following suggestions:
- Allow players to choose to attack the ships individually (current rule) or as a single fleet, up to their logistics limit.
- Allow players to select one or more enemy ships in the cell that they want to attack with their ship or fleet.
- Allow players to repeatedly attack ships in a single cell with a single ship or fleet (this would be similar to how fleet combat works now where ships keep attacking enemy ships until they are all destroyed or the player's ships are all destroyed).
Whatever you decide to do, you must do something to eliminate the tedium of attacking large numbers of ships one ship at a time.
Here is a link to a save that will allow you to see what I am talking about:

Go to the star named "Rathra" and you should be able to find the Drath Freehold stack shown in the screen snapshot below.
