Title: 'Replay last battle' in simulation
Post by: vlad_1492 on August 17, 2019, 01:38:34 AM: Want to make some tweaks to the loadout, then test against that fight we just had.
Launches current fleet against the previous enemy in simulation.

If it is just a simulation then it shouldn't be too hard to do I would imagine. I could see the benefit to the player to learn to form something like that.

Or have a way to 'store combat logs' from a few fights to bring up in the simulator later.
