What if the planet also becomes unavailable?

secondly. a ms is not at 2 places at once its in one. while getting attacked its defending you and more than lilley if your online your attacking the person thats attacking you.
Well thats another thing that,in my oppinion should change.

Why not build a full def(with def planets if youhave any) rather than just fill your MS,slap on a 100 bil and leave it be?

also lets say im massing a player who left his ms on defence mode and is offline. it means i have to beat through it right. if they left it on attack mode makes the job easier as its not defending it therefore rendering the ms usless in this case.

Problem being?It just makes us think of more tactics and build well protected accounts...

how about leave it as it is. works good i think. issue with planets need to be addressed and changed as that needs looking into.

Uhm...when?

Well logically thinking your MS would be moving the plant to the new system. I believe that's how it works. To that end.. the planets cannot be taken back until the 12 hours (or shorten the time) have passed. Same with your MS..if the MS is with the planet it's not defending you or attacking another system.

secondly. a ms is not at 2 places at once its in one. while getting attacked its defending you and more than lilley if your online your attacking the person thats attacking you.

Erm.. yes it is. I have see MS's being used to attack an account whilst they can still somehow defend the owners account. Your MS should either be out in the galaxy attacking the other players or it should be in your systems protecting your worlds.

The way you're thinking about it is incorrect too.. by the way your using your logic to think about it.. both your accounts defence and attack would take part in an attacking action.. it does not work like that. Your defence represents the defence of your systems and your strike their offensive ability. Your MS should either be with those defence systems or out in the galaxy with your offensive units attacking other realms and their defences. The way it is atm.. somehow the MS has the capability to be half way across the known galaxy assaulting another realm and still be in your systems defending your territory. It's not possible by the laws of physics lol.

also lets say im massing a player who left his ms on defence mode and is offline. it means i have to beat through it right. if they left it on attack mode makes the job easier as its not defending it therefore rendering the ms usless in this case.

Indeed you are correct sir. That's the point. It requires someone to think how they want to use their MS and ontop of that it also means if your MS is not defending.. then it's not being killed either.. so it's not as if it does not have it's benefits as it's out in the galaxy. if you're not attacking you can assume it's travelling back from or to your next/last target.

how about leave it as it is. works good i think. issue with planets need to be addressed and changed as that needs looking into.

In general.. it's MS's. Why can they be in two places at once? Defending and attacking?

I believe it a good idea to have a setting for motherships that have them designated to defend or attack at any one given time.. and there needs to be a minimum amount of time passed in between each change before another can be made.. AND I do believe MS's should be incapacitated when stealing a planet.

my reasoning for this is.. erm.. well...it makes sense... lol.

I don't think it makes sense, if i'm reading it right then the only way motherships would meet in battle is if player A had there mothership on attack mode and player B had there mothership on def mode, but then how would player B fight back? They would be in def mode and even if they could change to attack mode they wouldn't be able to hit the other ship as its in attack mode as well, for a designated time all they could do is rebuild, This idea means there wouldn't be a back and forth mothership battle ever.

Or, once the planet is reclaimed, your MS is no longer moving the planet is it. So it could resume normal operations (except taking a planet)

secondly. a ms is not at 2 places at once its in one. while getting attacked its defending you and more than lilley if your online your attacking the person thats attacking you.

But somehow, the MS is able to teleport from your realm, to theirs.

Or, your could tweak it and say, whilst on the attack, it's only 10% effective whilst defending (since it would have to get back quick smart, to help defend the realm)

how about leave it as it is. works good i think. issue with planets need to be addressed and changed as that needs looking into.

Agree with planets, disagree with leaving MS as they are, especially with the weakness of defense

Do what i suggested, if it is left in attack, it only does 10% power, but takes full damages (or maybe not, i'm not sure yet)

Again, see me 10% suggestion

also at the eralier post i do not frown upon new developments for this game i simpley believe other areas need priority into being looked at.

True, but with MS not loosing capacity, it's quickly become the balance tipper in battles now.
