First words : I´m not native English
I´m sorry for any grammar or other errors in this text.
-> if you have a better idea for naming this post i would chance it. i couldn´t get something short and fitting
Haven´t seen any real difference between those 2 yet.
Except if your fleet is fleeing and the other defending fleeing doesn't get your ships damaged.
So i was thinking about something:
1. In your Fleet screen you can define your fleet like 1st line and 2nd line.
2. in small battles only Ships in the 1st line will be available
3. in normal battles it depends on what you´ve chosen
-> full attack : only 1st row is available
-> defend : 2nd row is available
-> AI would set their 1st and 2nd line
4. Ships in the 2nd row will be destroyed or captured like it happens in normal battles if you loose or the AI had chosen to attack and lost.
5. Why i would like to see it?
-> 2nd row would fit for damaged ships or civilian ships like cargo vessels which i otherwise have to put on retreat in small battles by hand
-> choosing defend gives you a bit more firepower or at least some ships which can take a hit or two to save the day .. hopefully ...
5.So but why don´t we say that it cost something to put a ship in your 2nd line.
-> for example a "price" could be 2 command points for every ship in 2nd line up to your normal maximum ( 10 i think it is atm ) which will be not avaible in battles then.
-> so lets say you put 5 ships in your 2nd line, you now would have to hope that your fleet performs well without your orders until a node in battle is captured.
what do you guys think about?
oh and don´t be to harsh
thank you.
