Cant sell fleets

I think that the multiaccounts that exist purley to steal planets would have it a little harder if fleets could not be sold after use. If nothing else, the multi accounts would have to keep replaceing them in the long time it usualy takes for fourm and gamemod to act.

Thoughts ?

thats a good idea actually, you cant sell ms defences and attack weapons, why should fleets be different?
maybe fleets actually appear in mothership screen instead of armory also

I prefer being able to sell my fleets. Unlike weapons and shields on the mothership, they are not physically attached the the ship. So why wouldn't you be able to sell them like everything else?

If worried about multies, well...they loose about 20% everytime they sell & rebuy.

But this means a 100% loss for them.

And if you build anything that makes your mothership stronger, why would you get rid of it.



Of course, it'd make sense also to rename 'fleets' fighter squadrons.

I'd say since they are on the mothership gets the fleets they should not be damaged in fights like the normal weapons but destroyed if hit.

and they should participate in fights whether you're attacking or defending.

Under that logic why would you ever want to sell any of your other weapons? Are you suggesting that we remove the option of selling attack and defense weapons aswell?

And yes, it means 100% loss for them, but multies are not the only ones who may want to sell their fleets. I have sold mine before, as have most others... I hate when updates are introduced that penalize everyone else simply because of a few peoples actions...it only encourages them to find other cheap methods, meaning more updates that just ruin the game further :x

I really like this idea, and it seems to be the middle ground on the issue :)

bad idea....... It not only hurts multies, but hurts everyone! Legitimate planet thieves would get crushed by this update....

it would also hurt people that plan on ascending. When i ascend im gonna want all the naq i can suck from my account and my fleets will give me a nice chunk of naq.

then don't buy fleets. and invest in spies or defence or strike. there you can sell the weaponms/untrain some units.

Tehe... I like this.


I then would like to add that it would be good to be able to HIJACK other people's fleets... with like, spies. :) Would be assassins doing the actual hijacking, of course.. :-D
