This would be a wonderful thing. It is annoying when your missile ships retreat past your planet and the enemy destroys it in passing.

I'd request that this "defend planet" order allow the defendered to sally forth to engage the enemy, so long as it is keeping them at bay. I would hate for a suicide squad with orders not to attack ships to be allowed too close because the defenders cannot move from the planet.

This might be tricky, though, especially with multiple attacking forces.

I think you hit the nail on the head. But I think I am going to stick with this game. It has the makings of and epic battle. I haven't had one since SEIII

Yea, in my single player game. (new start after patch).
Give the AI meduim diff, low bonus. I met the Not so friendly EEE. For the first time ever upon contact, They wiped 2 of my planets out. What a way to say hello.

I then sent in forces, they withdrew. We are not at war. No treaty. I decided to pay them back and moved my forces into the system the retreated to. I had to chose between their retreating ships and a planet. I picked toe planet as a target. Big mistake. The EEE sent their ships back into my system and wiped out my system world. And we still are not at war.

Hehe... speaking of Location, Location, Location I started a Demo game recently with a rather interesting group of systems.

My home system had an AI on one of the planets.... ok. no big deal.

All three of the wormholes in my system were damaging, And Yes... all 3 led to black hole systems. Naturally, all the warp points out of those three black hole systems were damaging wormholes. Yikes.

That was the weirdest start I've ever had.

(Day 8 of the 7 - 10 day shipping from Chips and Bits. Going nuts waiting for SEIV to arrive)

You should've ordered from Strategic Plus instead. Took three days to ship the game to Norway.

Man 40 pounds is alot of money for a poor Canadian. Thats almost 100 dollars. Us Canucks weep when we see the pound symbol. Strikes more fear than greenbacks. When the family come over for a visit from the old country they feel like kings. Ever want a cheap vacation come to canada. 1000 pounds is 2300 CDN.

Nice site thought. Great order applet. No Decent Freespace 2

Loved the warning applet window opening
