Request: Simultaneous combat

Another suggestion is to move and fire the ywa it is currently done, but not apply the damage until the end of the combat turn and apply all damage simultaneously. This seems the most complex, but is may actually be the easiest to do. One problem I do see with it is PDC fire on missles You might have to allow PDC damage to be applied instantly unstead of waiting or your missles would still hit the ship even though they were actually blown up.

Ooops, I didn't think of that. Now you gotta think, fighters drones sats which are targeted, if the PDC doesn't know what it's done.

Tractors, Repulsors, and Wormhole beams have to go first.

Engine destroying weapons, and the other special weapons have to go first as well.

Yeesh, what a mess.

See, maybe there's nothing wrong with the current system. There's just some FUD in combat, like it should have.
