Edit by Wolf359: Bill - I altered the title of teh thread slightly - hope you don't mind - pm me if you have a problem.

After the attack planet thing. I feel that we should look at fleets. There is no way to hurt them. Therefore a new group of mercs funded by high ranked players is stealing planets for said players. Perhaps a way to reign this in before it gets out of hand?

that would work, also if your mothership fleets can hit the other fleets it might add more to the game :) I mean think logicly about this....If you have 500 planes, but no support. I should be able to blow them up on the runway......

Well it seems like the fleets aren't stored on the ground though, they're stored in the mothership's launch bays. They only leave to attack an enemy planet, or to add to the mothership's attack during an offensive battle.

Perhaps make it so that in defensive battles, as the mothership is damaged, the fleets it carries are lost/damaged? That way they could be massed like anything else.

Here's how I think Fleets should be destroyed:

#1: As they are. Lost in battles for planets -- obvious.

#2: Sabbable. If they need to be repaired, and are shown in the armoy, they should be sabbable like all other weapons.

#3: In Mothership battles. Fleets should be able to damage fleets.

#4: In Motherships Battles 2. If you blow through the shields, instead of destroying JUST weapons, destroy half weapons, half fleets.


My Personal opinion is all 4 should be allowed, Or possibly just 1 and 3, or 1,3 and 4.

this is a good idea. making fleets damageable in battle. also, make fleets cheaper, some people won't be able to restore fleets that easy. maybe make a fleet cost 8 mil naq?

A Squadron of X-02s, Death Gliders would be a nice addition. :twisted:

they do not need to be made cheaper but sabbable would be nice...

the weaker players might have a problem with this tho cuz yea not everyone in the game can buy fleets so easily, and then have them sabbed or destroyed in a def battle. i mean i know where your coming from me personaly have lost many planets to people just stealing and abandoning, and now i cant get any. but im content with how they are now, but if they were to be sabbed, or destroyed in a def battle, then the price should be lowerd, cuz then we could actualy rebuild, 100 fleets cost over 370mil and not everyone has that lying around

anyone should be able to get 400 million a day with little to no problems, from just farming dead inactive farm accounts.

also i would like a check box in the armory or mothership page that if checked you dont send any of your fleets out when attacking people

because it cost more to repair my fleets then my weapons

No way man! I know a guy who lost 500 fleets because he wasn't paying attention when he went farming.

I hate those people that have nothing to sab /mass but they thave like 1000 fleets, and they just keep taking your planets, I need something to stop them.

That's what we need to prevent, that's the point of this thread.

Fleets, expensive or not, are indestructible unless you invest everything you have in planetary defenses, and then, oh snap! the guy can just sell his fleets, buy real weapons, and pound you in a direct battle while you're stuck with planetary defenses you can't sell.

It's a cheap shot, much like people who relied on only covert and strike action - with no defense - used to harass people until anti-covert was introduced.
