Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

Yes, it's true that it adds a little extra time when you are being attacked however that isn't the point. The point is that there is a Repair All Weapons button and the MS should be no different. I can not envision a scenario where I would be in command of a MS, and instead of saying "Repair all weapons!", I would say, "Repair 7367 Weapons" and have some smart ass reply, "Wouldn't that be Repair All Weapons!"

Also, I can calculate the maths in seconds without a calculator and love math, however it adds nothing IMO but a bit more time which IMO is needless.

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

To whoever said this was not Mathgatewars...silence foolish mortal. The Mathlord decrees all functions involve at least some math!

Sorry, had to do that :lol:

Seriously though, it's just part of the gameplay...makes you have to think quickly about what numbers you need to bring up. Besides, if you've ms massed enough, you know what amounts you need to build a certain amount of shields or volleys, and always overestimate a little...makes it easier! All about learning the system and gaining experience.

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

Yea, why dont we make an Auto Masser? Auto ppt? Auto banker? Auto Farmer? Auto Raider? Auto Sabber? Auto Weapon Repairer?

All the above take away the strategy of the game... The strategy of the game has decreased much since the beginning of the game. If you implement this into the game, and you get online and someone is massing your ms, all it comes down to is who has more naq to auto repair? The strategy would be next to none in ms massing...

We actually already have that one if by auto you mean repair all weapons. The point is if there is a "Repair all weapons" option, why not an option to do the same on the MS?

I do not think we should have Auto everything and nobody has suggested such.

edit: And MS already has an "Auto Repair all Fleets" so the suggestion is not that far out of line.

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

crying about doing the math seriously, if my MS is getting massed i don't fully repair. i just go for the nearest K in exaple:

38983 volleys left max 50000
i add 11k voleys
same for :
38219

if the number behind the thousand is keeping your MS from getting smashed in 1 go the your MS is simply not exuiped to handle that MS battle. it isn' thard like it is now, just chalanging to see if you are fast enough copaired to your foe ;)

so ppl stop asking to make the game easyer cuz seriously what is next ? auto massing an enemy MS when your planet is being massed ?

Because it is valid.

As long as it seperate shields/volley/fleets I dont care. I almost think it may be just as risky if not more, but if they are all put together I wouldn't like that as I dont want my fleets repaired when not needed.

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

i think this could easily be solved with a button that executes the code after 20 secs instead of instantly

so if you want to wait 20 secs you can just click that button and do other stuff.
if you're in a hurry (i.e. ms battle) you can get repair it quickly (but maybe not fully)

Re: Shortcut button for repairing MS

think about it

the bigger the MS..

the more naq they have out

The more time they have that naq out in the open!
