Wouldn't they then fire when people enter sector?

Page could confirm though.

Maybe once upon a time, but not anymore.

Lets do that, but secretly

Uhm, if you have an enemy fleet powering up weapons in orbit, then are you going to wait until they fire before defending yourself?

Planet fires first AFTER it has been fired on once.

Is this a statement or a suggestion? If it is a suggestion, then I agree, if it is a statement then check our combat logs before you start blabbering.

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.

Wouldn't you also have to power up your own weapons, and I'm sure planetary weapons take more power :P

Ahhh, but a planet can have huge batteries of power generators including solar which negates the need to power down weapons thus they should always be hot except for monthly maintenance.

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

dont you know the order shouldnt make sense, it just has to be logical...

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?
