Well if you stuck everyone in one sector and they were all trying to do things I'm pretty sure it'd break SMR too, but that's not the point, they still fit! :D

You can't put all those in the same sector, because it crashes MGU :)

That depends on how big the sector has been coded. It always depends on those damn coders.

Surely the sector is big enough they can stay fairly far away from the planet whilst in the same before everyone is ready?

Are you kidding? And do without life support systems until the last newbie manages to enter sector?

Good point, but planetary weapons have a large infrastructure behind them and do not require power being rerouted from the life support systems.

Now is that enough role playing for you? :)

Just because logic doesn't make sense to you ;) Most of us are fine with it :P

Uhm, if you have an enemy fleet powering up weapons in orbit, then are you going to wait until they fire before defending yourself?
Yeah, shouldn't planetary technology be a bit better than the one on ships? Shouldn't there be some operating crew on the planet watching the scanner data and reacting when necessary?

This way, few CDs get knocked down and all of a sudden an EoS can survive the first shot to, which was not the case. Both the cap (I find 12 as a good one) and the order of firing should be put back in.
dont you know the order shouldnt make sense, it just has to be logical...

Now were just going overboard....

Back on topic.... if we wanted to be "realistic" then the planet would never stop firing... (wouldnt that be a :D)

which would be a twist... planet fires when enemy fleet enters.... hope u got no one on dialup ;)
