Re: galaxy battles From: Jesse.Taylor@launchpad.unc.edu (Jesse Taylor) Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1993 20:25:23 +0000 [I've been following the thread of rewriting the format of battles in galaxy, and have a few opinions (don't know if these have been stated before)] As the the arguement that galaxy turns take a year, and that ships only shooting once for each attack during the battle was too slow for a year, another point was made that solar systems are BIG places, and that a battle would involve numerous skirmishes between the various ships, not one HUGE engagement... Plus if you factor in ECM, ships might miss each other in battle. Maybe each ship could fire twice in a turn for a battle? As to the arguement that the game could stalemate if two people made two huge fleets of flack ships.... No, only until one of them made a ship with about 50 attacks and sent it in to break the stalemate... That's all for now...
