Fleet calculator advanced

[AFB]

This is just an idea based on fleets cost calculator- can we also have one that limits the number of enemy fleets to yours? Cos if you have 1-2 ships, and need segs/money/whatever to advance, especially on wars, its nigh impossible to do missions with 1-2ships.

This would make some people's lives much easier

nah, i think bad idea, its just an easy way for people to run with a few really big ships instead of buying more than 1 or 2 ships

[J-Bomb]

you only need 3 ships to do mission btw

[AFB]

On wars you need at least three. Which is not good for pvp.

limiting diversity is usually not the way to go..
this proposal eliminates the need for multiple fleets as cameron observed..
several strategies r based on this feature.. u have to balance the # of fleets (or success %) against offensive / defensive purposes

i see no imbalance in this feature.. its the same for evrybody

[AFB]

All Im saying is it makes life much easier, and I don't see it harming any strategies, if its optional.

[mgc]

and what option do u think ppl will select if they can choose?

[AFB]

All Im saying is- if it hurts people's strategies, no-one will force them. And this will hopefully reduce the grind.

i think u misunderstood what i was trying to say..

if i understand your last post correctly, u said:
""if the advanced fc doesnt go well with what u do, dont use it..""

this is ofcourse absolutely undeniably true.. but totally beside the point;
what i was trying to get across is that given the option, all players will be running around with 1 mission fleet and the number of possible strategies in game declines cause of the equal # of fleets

[AFB]

Which is not bad, as it reduces grinding. Which is exactly my point.

[mgc]

i dont see how

[AFB]

Cos people need to hit a lot of fleets, they need to try more times. So, if there are less fleets, they will be able to succeed at more missions,thus removing mission re-doing.

[mgc]

if theyre bothered by retrying a lot, they should get more fleets

[AFB]

Which is why I proposed this-so people can do missions with small amount of fleets, cos its a liability in pvp.

[mgc]

whats the advantage of a small number of fleets?
if ppl can easily do missions with 1 fleet, howmany fleets do u think they will have?
what would the consequences of that be for the game?
would that make for a better / more interesting game?
