Whos on first when it comes to firing?

Ships can't gain experiance if they get blown out of the sky buy talisman toting BCs. I'm guessing the 3 ships that could have been destroyed by my sats cost me 1 or 2 BCs.

Perhaps short-ranged weapons should fire before long-ranged ones...

how about simultaneous firing with damage be accessed after each round of combat for both sides? this way all units from both sides, ie; ships, sats, battlstations etc, all fire at same time, damage/destruction applied after end of each firing sequence/round of combat??

just some ideas mac

Mac, that would be the ideal solution but it would be a massive coding change for MM, since the turn system is at the very heart of the game's combat engine.

Maybe for SE5 though...

Dogscoff, I was afraid someone would say hard code changes... I'm sure it wouldn't be all that easy to implement because of ftrs, drones, etc, but I thought maybe something like the combat in Pax Imperium II, not exactly like it, but maybe something similiar....

It may indeed be a hard code issue more complex than it is worth.
Still I would love to see Fixed units such as Sats and WPs fire first. Then the mobile elements can engage targets further away.
I can dream.
