Free Commands during pause after Deployment
« on: March 03, 2016, 07:20:59 PM »

Basically what the title says; allow you to freely give commands during the pause after you deploy your ships. It would simulate pre-battle commands without the UI/design problems that could present.

i like the idea. although "during the pause" should probably be something more along the lines of "for the first 10 seconds of battle". that way it isn't wasted if you accidentally unpause, or realize a moment later that you've given the wrong orders.

Makes sense to me. The limited CPs are so you're not distracted from the action too much, but since there is no action at the start of a battle...
